Last night I ran software update on my Mac Book Pro, bringing me up to Mac OS X 10.4.6. And today? Corel Draw 11 crashes on startup!

Fortunately, I've been in this situation before. Today's solution is a natural one: go to /Users/jessewilson/Library/ and delete the folder named CorelDRAW 11 Preferences. Then launch Corel Draw 11.
