....and replace Norton with anything else.  AVAst is a free Anti-virus that
plays well with others, ZoneAlarm is a free firewall that does 
better than the Windows firewall and Norton's together.  They're both free (both
hassle- and cost-).

Best of luck and let us know how it goes.

Thanks for the links.  I have disabled NAV. The problem was not resolved.  I 
have been using CD8 and NAV together for more than 2 years without the 
problem. I could not find any relevant info in the other link.
I have an earlier version of CDraw, 7,  which loads OK but will not open 
files created with version8. Can anyone cast any light on this?

A little googling for coreldrw.cpl found this:

Problem:
When trying to open Corel DRAW8 getting error:"Error opening file 
Coreldrw.cpl"

Answer:
Search for the coreldrw.reg and the corelapp.reg files and double 
click on them both to enter the infomation into the registry.

It couldn't hurt!
