I can't save my work. When I try I get a no disk space message when I have a 40 GB new hardrive.

We're a non-profit and wanted to use our old version of Corel Draw 4 and we just bought a new computer with windows 2000 operating system which works fine for any other program.

Please give me advice on how to fix this at berot@netvision.net.il
 
Windows 2000 works fine for many older Windows programs (pre 95), but there is no guarantee that it will work for all old programs.

Since you are a non-profit company, why didn't you just buy a perfectly good cheap older computer with Windows 95/98? The money you would have saved would actually more than pay for even upgrading to a newer version of Corel.

I think you need at least Corel 6 to work on Windows 2000.
 
I got a new (sealed, legal) copy of Corel 8 for about $30 on Ebay. With all the Corel upgrades, you can get past Corel 4 pretty cheap if you poke around.
 
I've found on the following site there's this solution for NT4, which has also worked for me in Win2k.

"To fix the "Disk full" error change the setting in preview from color to bw"

If you change the thumbnail setting in the save dialog box from "Color 8K" to "Mono 1K" the files will save fine.

Paul.
