Upgraded to X3 but lost Next button in X2 burn mode

Post by maxfrost01 »

Recently upgraded to X3 despite reservations on the 'Burn' capabilites (see many threads in this forum).
Having completed a project I now want to burn a DVD.
The options available in X3 do not excite me - it seems that there is a forced exit from X2 into either DVD Factory Pro or DVD MovieFactory 7 SE.
Played with these but then breached my low boredom threshold (is it worth persevering with either of them? Both look a bit Mickey-Mouse)

Decided to fire-up my trusty copy of X2 and do the burn in that.

On the first screen I noticed that the 'Next' button is partially obscured by the 'Setting and Options' button. But enough is visible to proceed to next screen.
But problem arises on next screen where 'Next' button has now become 'Back' button and 'Next' button is no longer visible. Therefore I can only go backwards but not forwards (a metaphor for life?)

Have tried an uninstall and reinstall of X2 but problem remains exactly the same.
Did not have this problem before I installed X3 (on same computer).

Questions:
1. Anyone else had this or a similar problem? Did you find a solution?
2. Is there a keyboard shortcut that will take me to the next screen when in Burn mode?
3. Is it worth persevering with either of the burn options in X3 or are both inferior to the X2 burn?
3. Was I a fool to upgrade? (Actually, it is not an upgrade but a Full version - just as cheap!)

Anwering my own question.

I decided to post my query on the Corel Support website. Having entered all the info it offered me a link to an X2 download that solves this specific problem.

It would appear that the disappearing Next button is NOT related to my X3 upgrade but IS related to my Windows 7 upgrade.

Installed the update and Bingo! I now have a functioning 'Next' button during burn in X2.

Now, if there was just some way of notifying users of software updates without having to go to the website and look...............

There is in fact a longish sticky thread towards the top of this forum which deals with the whole question of X2 and Win 7: see http://forum.corel.com/EN/viewtopic.php ... 98#p181998

Thanks, Ken.
Exactly describes the problem I was having.
I did a search but at that stage I didn't know it was a Windows 7 related issue so did not pick up the thread.
