Hello. I'm trying to run Corel Draw! on my computer, but I have Windows XP
Professional as the operation system, and it's not allowing me to run Corel
Draw on my copmputer because Corel Draw is a 16-bit program. How to do adjust
my computer so that I can run 16-bit or 32-bit programs on my computer?
Please let me know-I need to use this program. Please e-mail your responses.
Thank you.

Sincerely,
Mr. Jason Goldman

Bloody 'ell! How old is that version of Corel Draw?! Instead of struggling
to get that working, I strongly recommend you upgrade to one that's XP
compatible!
