Can't start x3

[Henry5280]

My previous computer died, and I reloaded PSP X3 from the disk onto the new one. It loaded fine, but when I try to start it, I get a message that says I don't have the required files to start it. Help!

Have you also installed the Service packs/ patches.

There are five patches released for PSPP X3.
The original version number of X3 is 13.00. Patch 1 updates the version to 13.0.0.253.
If you have either of those versions, you can start at Patch 2. (Patch 1 is included in Patch 2).


After applying Patch 2 the version number will be 13.2.0.35.
The Ultimate Edition of X3 is version 13.2.0.41.
Both editions use the same patches, so if you have either of those versions you need Patch 3 -

This will bring the version number to 13.2.1.15

Next is Patch 4 -

The version number after patch 4 is 13.2.1.20.

Finally there is Patch 5 -

The version number after patch 5 is 13.2.1.32.

From X4 up the patches may be available at the Corel site. Earlier program patches may be available from various PSP sites. Cassel may have some on her Scrapbook Campus site.

Greetings hartpaul

I haven't installed the patches, so I'll give them a try, and let you know how it goes (smile).

I can't seem to find the patches hartpaul. When I click on a link for a patch, I get a message that says this page has been moved or deleted. Where are they located?

Take a look here. http://forum.corel.com/EN/viewtopic.php?f=56&t=55803

The ones for X3 are on Cassel's Scrapbook Campus site.

Good job hartpaul, and Kathy_9.

After the patches were installed, it started fine.

Applause here (smile).

Glad you got it working again.
