CorelDRAW Sandbox Portal
After installing version 2026 (subscription), nothing worked anymore. CorelDRAW and PhotoPaint froze. Two support agents tried to fix the problem online, but unfortunately, it didn't work (Level 2 and Level 1 support). So I wanted to revert to version 2025 because I need to work and earn a living. SHOCK - after that, nothing worked anymore. The error message displayed a message that a newer version (which, as mentioned above, DOESN'T work) existed and therefore CorelDRAW 2025 was no longer available. Even my invoicing for my clients stopped working. I had to restore my system backup (luckily, I had one from the previous day). A workday wasted, clients upset.
It is URGENTLY necessary to be able to revert to the previous version.
Note: I did NOT FOLLOW the last support agent's request to start Windows in safe mode, disable drivers, etc., until Corel 2026 would work! I am a user, not a programmer.
Search for Microsoft Visual C++ v14 Redistributable (x64) - 14.50.35719 (or whatever the latest version is) and install that from Microsoft. I've run into this problem myself and can't for the life of me figure out why but I keep a copy on my desktop now and just run it if I have a problem. It says you need to reboot after installing it, but from my experience you don't need to.
