Corel Painter 12

<p>I have just installed Painter 12 on a Mac running OS 10.7.2 and when I try to open the app I get a window<br>

"Corel Painter 12 wants to make changes. Type in pass word." When I type in the password I get a window<br>

"Error 20,Corel painter has encountered a problem. Please reinstall from original source."<br>

I have reinstalled many times and only get the same 2 alerts. Can anyone help in this matter?</p>

<p>Not a Mac guy, but I am a Corel user. And I've found that's Corel's own user forums (corel.com) are the place to get the quickest answers from people who live and breath it all day long.</p>

<p>The Corel sponsored forum for Painter is http://painterfactory.com/ if you can't find it on Corel's site.</p>

<p>No information on said problem...... Any other ideas?</p>

<p>Jack,<br /> Corel Painter used to be a great Mac app ... unfortunately Corel now pays way more attention to the Windows bunch.<br>

1. Have you tried re-booting with the Shift key down to keep any Log-in items, etc. from launching, and seeing if Painter launches without the "Make Changes"? You might have added a piece of software that you've forgotten about (<em>I do it all the time</em>) which may be affecting Painter's launching.<br>

2. You might also try re-booting and holding down the Option key, selecting the Emergency disc (?), then repair your hard drive with Disk Utility, and possibly even re-installing OSX10.7.2.<br>

3. I gather that you've contacted Corel for help?<br>

4. Those and possibly (re)-installing OSX10.6.8 are your only options that I know of.<br>

5. BTW, if you really need to use Corel 12, there are software available to re-partition your hard drive. You can then install OSX 10.6.8 in one partition if you choose and use Corel from there.<br>

FWIW, OSX 10.7.2 has a good number of quirks in and of itself and with other software. I'm hoping that 10.7.3 will provide the necessary fixes. Right now I holding onto software that states that it's definitely Lion compatible.<br>

Cheers & Good Luck.</p>

<p>Thats the Keychain asking for a password to make changes. Usually leaving it blank and clicking OK or just clicking cancel opens the application right up.</p>

<p>Michael, I wish that was the case.......... I have tried blank, using the password and just clicking OK,nothing works. All I get is" Error 20- Corel Painter has encountered a problem. Please reinstall from original source." I have reinstalled MANY times only to get the SAME THING "Error 20......"<br>
