Does anyone know if and how i can take Corel DRAW off of my old computer and run it on the new one? The disc was melted and is of no use to me. i have the USB but no disc.

If you have the serial number, you might be able to find a place to download the intallable version and load it on your new computer. Or call Corel and see if they can help you out.

There are probably a bunch of registry entries on your old computer's OS and possibly Corel specific files saved to the Windows System directories that will prevent you from copying it over from the already-installed verison and getting it to run on your new PC.

I would see about getting the install disc. I'm not sure what version you're using, but the X3 media kit (no license, just the discs) is $29.99 from one of my vendors. Corel may be able to issue you a replacement directly for cheaper.

Or you could try to go the download route. Torrentspy has a bunch of search results for CorelDraw, but I'm not sure which version you have/had.

I used Torrentspy for tons of downloads, read the comments, if there's a virus you'll know before hand. I've never gotten one using that philosophy.
