WordPerfect X3 Freezes

By Tom Fitzgerald on August 20, 2009 8:37 PM | No Comments
I'm currently in North Carolina on vacation. I just recently installed a server at a clients office before I left. Everything was fine for two days but then I get a phone call, they are unable to start Wordperfect X3. Blurg! I'll save you my troubleshooting but I will say that it just starts, then doesn't do anything and anything you try and do just causes a white screen - typical no response. 

What I had to do was  Click the Start button and then click Run. When the Run window appears, type REGEDIT and then click OK. This opens your Registry Editor (see warning above). Double-click the HKEY_CURRENT_USER folder and then double-click SOFTWARE. Right-click the COREL folder and then select Rename from the pop-up menu. Rename the folder CorelOld. Close the Registry Editor window.

I want to thank Smartcomputing.com for showing me the way. Luckily thats all I had to do! Hope this helps someone else out and saves some vacation time!
