CorelDRAW X6 :: Crashes When Trying To Use Bitmap Fills

Latest version installed (16.2)

If I draw a shape (or select an already existing shape) and choose "Bitmap Fill" or "Full Color Pattern" CDX6 freezes and then after several seconds throws the "CorelDRAW X6 has stopped working" error at me with the only options to "Check online for a solution..." or "Close the program"

Prior to the 16.2 update CDX6 would freeze in the above circumstances but eventually come out of it and apply the fill (program wouldn't have to be closed).

All other fills work as expected. This is a Win7 32-bit system.

The problem details are:
