I have a question about CorelDraw 8 and want to know if you can help or direct me to another source.

I'm running CorelDraw 8 Suite on a Windows 98se machine. Photopaint opens and runs properly but when I try to open CorelDraw I get an illegal operation message. The splash screen comes up and says it's loading. Then when it's saying &quot;almost done...&quot; I get the error message. The details say that &quot;CorelDrw caused an invalid page fault in the <unknown> module.&quot;

I uninstalled and reinstalled and still the same thing. I've run Norton Utilities and fixed errors, still nothing.
I've been using CorelDraw 8 since 1998 and my pc was upgraded last year. The program has run smoothly up until now.
One thing I should mention is that I did have some trouble with PhotoPaint giving me the illegal operation message saying it was shutting down. However, PhotoPaint would open fine on the next attempt. Now Paint works but Draw does't.

Corel's website had something on IPFs but it was dealing with CorelDraw 8 on a Windows 95 machine. It also could have been clearer on how to do each step. What do I do?

Thanks in advance.
