Hello there,
I have a problem with running an old application on my machine.
I have used Corel 4 for years on an old Pentium 200 with a 2 gig hard drive and W95 OS. Although this is an old program, it does what I want which is basic labelling.
I recently trashed the old machine and installed the Corel 4 on the new one. It works fine, but does not save, claiming there is not enough disk space, which is incorrect.
I have noticed that Help/About shows free disk space of about 1 gig, so maybe the program has a problem with the larger disks now available.
Any ideas.
Thanks,
Theo

I don't like to tell you this, but it looks like the application is not compatible with
post-FAT16 file systems and/or not compatible with partitions bigger than 2GB, a FAT16 limitation.Or the application may have a major bug that causes disk space calculations to be wrong.
It looks like a later version is required.

Hi Theo...
I've been using CorelDraw starting from version3 when it first went Windows 3.1 years ago. Version 3 was so loaded with bugs it could have been used in a Raid commercial. Version 4 was its b---tard brother, just as bad. I'm surprised that you haven't had problems up to now. Since you only use it for one function, labels, you haven't stepped on the land mines in it.
Let me suggest CorelDraw 5. It's one of the most stable, fast, excellent performing versions out there, and since it is archaic legacy you can pick it up for under $30. It will run fine under 2000 or XP and with modern processors. Try Ebay, you probably will find it for $10-$15. I still have my vs5 copy, even though I'm currently using 11.
