Glad to hear it. Having some issues with Windows 7 and X5. And I am real sick of "Windows 7 is searching for your answer, in the meantime we're going to SHUT YOU DOWN". AAAAAAAAAAAAAhhhhhh.

Just upgraded a few weeks back from X3 to X5. I really like the new features. But to be honest with you, they aren't worth the issues I'm having to deal with.
I'm having a bunch of issues here. Mainly with files that were originally created in X3 or older versions.
Sometimes, when I try to save files, it crashes. Then I can't reopen those files because they are corrupt. That is a huge problem that I hope Corel is addressing in SP1. I've lost several important files this way.
The other issue has to do with color. I do a bunch of web work. I use RGB colors. I have noticed that when I open files that were created in X3 up in X5 the colors are wrong. And I don't think it is color profiles, it is the colors themselves:
As you can see, the cmyk codes are the same, but the rgb is different. This is the exact same file opened in both X3 and X5, no changes have been made to the file. What can I do to resolve this? Because if there isn't a solution, than that means A. I have to manually go in and change the colors in the file, which could take hours in some cases, or B. I simply use X3 every time I need to work on files that weren't created in X5... which at this point in time is nearly all of them.
So far I haven't had any issues with the few files that were created in X5. But at this point X5 is nearly unusable for all of our existing files.
I hope someone out there knows a solution.

I have files that I work on one day and the next when I go to open them they pop open for a millisecond and then disappear. They are still there, they have properties, but they are like ghost files. There is nothing like getting to print part of the project and then not actually being able to open the file and print it.
I too have colour problems Joe. The palettes seem to get "mixed up"so to speak. I create in Pantone colours so I can colour correct and sometimes when I do get a file to open and it is not printing right I find that the colours are Hex colours. What the heck???? Hex colours??????

This may help, I had a tech to tell me that windons 7 home edition has a great deal of problems with a lot of software programs. He suggested that I upgrade to professional.

Yeah Neal, he told you that so your programs could be run from virtual xp mode. Is that why we want to upgrade to Windows 7?
