VS Pro X4 Help needed

[Tecstar]

Hi,

I have a retail disc copy of VS Pro X4 and it was very slow installing. On inspecting the disc its seems to have circles/spots on the disc. It looks like a manufacturing flaw. It took ages to install on my new PC and am worried that I might not be able to do it again. Is there anyway I can download a disc image or retail install file from Corel? (obviously I have the serial number for it!)

Thanks in advance.

I don't know if you originally purchased the disc from Corel or not - and I do not know if this works for disc versions or only on download versions but try the procedure in this topic and see how far you get :-- http://forum.corel.com/EN/viewtopic.php?f=56&t=53001&

Thanks Brian, I didn't unfortunately. I am trying to make an ISO copy of the original disc so I can burn a replacement but so far it's taken nearly 2 hours as it is struggling to read the original disc.

Hi

If you are trying to create an iso direct from disc, you may be best to copy the entire discs content to your hard drive first, or is that what you are trying to do.
Then save those files to another disc.

It is possible that its your drive that is struggling. Do you have access to another pc, maybe copy to USB flash drive.

I don't think so. It gets to 1153 of 1426MB then grinds. Its been nearly 4 hours and its only at 1242MB.

I might try direct copying though. Thanks for reminding me.

You could also try another DVD to make an iso to see if the problem is with the DVD drive.

Thanks. It's actually grinding copying the files off of the original VS disc. I finally got an image after nearly 10 hours! I have now burnt and verified the image ok and will try to install it on another computer to test it out.

Did you try to install from your "new" disc?
Have you determined that your CD/DVD drive is working properly?
