If I deciphered the verbiage correctly, you are attempting to use PhotoDraw
2000 Version 1 on Windows XP. Although some people have had success, most
fail. Try Compatibility Mode.

I tried this, but it didn't work. Any other ideas?
Thanks.

Hello,

I am encountering the same problem and I have the feeling that this is
a direct result of SP2 for WinXP.

But anyway, isn't there a patch for this problem? If not, can you
explain to me what that Compatibility Mode is. Or do you mean the
WIn98 etc option in XP?

Thanks anyway.

Rick.

I have set the Compatibility Mode to Windows 98 and everything works
fine.

For everyone who doesn't know how to do this:

Click on Start
Click on All Programs
Go to the Microsoft PhotoDraw icon
Right click
Choose Properties
Choose the Compatibility tab
Choose Windows 98
Press OK

Rick.
