# 4026- 5000 Series Error Messages

Error Message 5000
The 5000 series of error messages occur as a direct result of a memory conflict in your system.
Usually such error messages are object or file specific and can be easily isolated. When such an
error occurs, and CorelDRAW  will allow, save your work and exit Windows.  Power down the
computer and reboot, before restarting. If the error message returns, try the suggestions outlined
below.

Removing TMP files
Temporary files are created while working in CorelDRAW. Over time, these files collect, and take
up unnecessary hard drive space. To remove these files, perform the following steps:

1.  At the DOS prompt, type SET and press ENTER. 
2.  Note the location of the TEMP directory, i.e. TEMP=C:\WINDOWS\TEMP. 
3.  Change to the directory, and type DEL *.TMP and press ENTER.
4.  Ensure that at least 5 MB of free hard drive space is available on this drive.

Error Message 5001
This error occurs when two pieces of data are in conflict. In some cases renaming the
CORELDRW.CFG may correct this problem. If it does not, Technical Support has found several
occurrences of data conflicts which remedy the problem.

          If you have text fit to a path within the file generating the error - the text or the path may
     be corrupted. If the objects are not complicated delete and recreate them, or select the
     objects, duplicate them, and delete the original. 

          For small files, perform the following steps to locate the corrupted object:

1.  If the error occurs when printing, printing will stop on a particular object. Note, the object
number and add one. Each object is printed in the order in which it was created, and can be
identified by toggling through the objects.  If you are able to return to the document, save the file,
exit CorelDRAW and restart Windows. 
 
2.  Open the problem file, and press SHIFT, TAB  to select the first object created. Press SHIFT,
TAB again to select the objects in the order that they were created until you reach the offending
object. Once identified, delete and recreate it.

Note:  If your printer has output part of your drawing you may select the last object printed and
use SHIFT, TAB to select the next object. This is likely the offending object and can be deleted.

         For large files perform the following steps to locate the corrupted object:

If your printer has output part of your drawing you may select the last object printed and use
SHIFT, TAB to select the next object. This is likely the offending object, and can be deleted.

To isolate the object, marquee select half of the objects , and click Edit, Copy. If no error occurs,
marquee select another area, and click Edit, Copy. Once the error occurs you will need to select
fewer objects from that area and continue with the copying process until you have located the
offending object. Once identified, delete and recreate it.

If you locate the corrupted object but cannot delete it, click Edit, Select All, and SHIFT-click the
corrupt object.  This will deselect it.  Save selected only, into a new CorelDRAW file with a new
file name.

If the error occurs when loading a file, click Display, Edit Wire frame.  Attempt to open the file
again. Perform the instructions listed above to isolate, and remove the offending object.

Error Message 5002
Renaming the CORELDRW.CFG will usually correct any series 5002 error message.  Using File
Manager, locate and rename the CORELDRW.CFG file to CORELDRW.OLD, and restart
CorelDRAW.
