Corel Photo Paint/Corel Draw 7

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...

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.
