Experienced user of versions 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, and X3 mostly for web page graphics, some photo retouching, some technical document illustration. Right now I only have versions 12 and X3 available to me, so I'll be best at answering questions about those.

Corel Photo Paint - Corel Draw 7

Expert: Neal Ziring - 6/29/2009

Question
Will Draw 7, especially Photo Paint 7 run on my new machine using Vista?

Answer
Lloyd,

I think that PhotoPaint 7 and Draw 7 will not run on Vista.
The oldest version that will reliably run on Vista is probably
Draw 12. Many people have reported the Draw 8 and 9 fail on
Vista.

Sorry about that.

If your main need is photo editing, you might consider the free
editors that are available. Many of them run on Vista. I like
The Gimp myself, but Paint.NET is also supposed to be very good.
You can see a list here:

Hope this helps...
