It opens fine in Illustrator.....So it is probably an eps created in Illustrator.....They are both eps files but not exactly the same format and there is compatibility problems.....

It would help if you told us your version of Corel!

My Corel X3 opened the file with no problems. I didn't think it would as it's created by Adobe version 13 which I thought was beyond my Corel's capabilities. Ah-well.

Anyway, here's a version I converted with ghostscript/ghostview, then imported into Corel and saved again so it had a preview built-in. If you can't load this one, then you must have an old version of Corel...

As long as it works, that's what counts...

I posted a topic around here somewhere about converting newer format vector files. Here's the quick version:

Install ghostscript and ghostview! You can open almost all those newer files using ghostview (which uses ghostscript) and then export them as an eps or pdf file. That's how I do conversions over here because my Corel X3 is "old" too and can't handle the newer formats.

Sorry, in ghostview, it's "convert" under the File menu. When the Convert window opens, choose either "epswrite" or "pdfwrite" and you're good to go...
