I just recently insatlled Corel Draw , I meant to put the program on my external hard drive because I am running out of room on my c drive. Is it possible to move the program over to my external drive , or do I have to delete and re-install... Thanks!

It is possible, if go to :c/program files. You should find a file with the name corel draw or a name similar. What you do is cut and paste that to your external drive. I would put it in the folder that says program files, but you don't have to. I would also put the desktop shortcut on the external drive too so you don't have search the folder contents to start the program.

Just copying the program MIGHT work, and it might break the installation. Since uninstalling programs and reinstalling always results in all the files and flags pointing to the right places, that's what I would do. Shouldn't take more than 10 minutes, either.

When I transferred my info to my new computer, it worked.

I was thinking if you wanted Corel Draw on a different drive wouldn't it be better --

To install a fresh copy and make sure it works -- then remove it from the original drive
