CORELDRAW X5 COMPATIBILITY with WIN8 Pro
I own Coreldraw X5. I tried to install it on a new Dell XPS15 laptop with windows 8 pro. It said there were some known compatibility issues. It did NOT tell me that it would not work. I phoned Corel and all they wanted to do was to sell an upgrade. My question is: Will X5 work on my Win8 machine?

Like windows 7 service pack one fixed a lot of stuff.
Check this, they also agree it should run??
I cant see why not it's not that outdated?
The problem is the Fonts and the gui of windows 8
