I agree that it is a regular problem. I do not use CorelDraw, but other
programs at random will lock up. My only option is to turn the computer off
to reboot. It is very frustrating

Hi Steve,

You might check to see if it is a security or antivirus program that
may be causing these problems. My firewall program has a Defense option
that will stop some programs actions in Vista until I approve them. Test
and see by temporarily turning it off.

Hope this helps,
Shawn
