Large files crash corel draw - why?

Reply Contact

Hi all,

I am trying to open large files of sizes between 300 and 700mb in corel draw but it freezes right away and I have to kill it through the taskmanager. I set the memory usage in the options to 97% of the ram but it still doesnt help. The file type I am trying to open is a AI document. I tried to open smaller AI files ( around 10mb) and it works fine. I also tried to open/import EPS files but that doesnt work at all no matter what size.
I have not much harddrive space available, only about 4GB. I wonder if that has anything to do with it.

Machine specs: PC Pentium 4 2.8Ghz, 1GB Ram

It could be memory related, it is a big file and you are only running 1gb memory and 4gb drive space :S

I agree with Frootloop. I would highly recommend adding more ram and maybe get a bigger hard drive or cleaning up the one you have. At least get a storage drive and move some of your files over to it. Personally, I don't like to keep my files on the drive running my OS.
