Corel 8 and Vista

Ive used Corel draw 8 for a long time and, touch wood, had no problems up to 
and including Windows XP home. I have Vista Home Premium on my new laptop 
and I loaded Draw 8 without any problems.
However if I create a new graphic it will not 'save as' and the program 
freezes when I try. Strangely if I open a file that I previously created on 
the PC (XP Home) then I can edit and alter and add to it without problem 
provided I only save it back to the original file. If I try to 'save as' it 
freezes again.
I am not realy computer literate and I have gotten used to Draw 8 so any 
help would be muchly appreciated.
                            thanx.....liam.....

Good call, lemoto.

Liam, there are known issues between CorelDraw (versions 6-9) and 
Symantec softwares, particularly Norton AntiVirus and Norton System 
Security.

If you're using Norton Anything, you're best to completely uninstall it. 
Avast! makes a great (and free) AntiVirus software, ZoneAlarm still has 
their award-winning free software firewall, and Spyware Blaster makes a 
wonderful resident spyware blocker. All together, they take up less room 
and fewer resources than the equivalent single program made by Symantec.

....of course, if you're not using them, I've just blathered on for five 
minutes for no good reason...  :)

Thanks for the help guys. I am on Norton as it came with the package. I have 
had a look at AVG and Avasts sites and they do look a good 
option.Thanx....liam....

I use AVG and would recommend it.
Good luck with it.
