CorelDraw is a vector-based graphic design application, so images created purely using coreldraw will not break must be enlarged several times. Unlike the photoshop application which is based on bitmap images, it will break when enlarged if the original image resolution is not too large.
Some time ago I installed coreldraw X7 on windows 7 64 bit. The installation process went smoothly until it was complete. However, when I tried to run the application, an error message appeared  "Unable to load VGCore.dll Error Code: -1073741795".
After knowing here and there, it turns out that this error message is caused because Coreldraw X7 does not support Windows 7 that has not been updated to Service Pack 1. If by chance our Windows 7 installer is not SP 1 (service pack 1) then we must update to service pack 1. 

Steps to resolve "Unable to load VGCore.dll Error Code: -1073741795" :

  1. Check our windows version by pressing the keyboard shortcut combination windows+pause, or via right-click My Computer- Properties
