Here's what worked for me: I uninstalled Printhouse Magic. I next did a 
search on my hard drive and deleted any Corel leftovers. I then went (with 
much fear) to run--> regedit, which edits the registry hive. I searched for 
Borland, Corel, and BDE - deleting any that were left. Be very, very 
careful - because if you screw up the registry, you could really screw up 
your entire system. Also, be careful with deleting the BDE finds - there are 
some key strings which happen to contain BDE, but I do not think they have 
anything to do with the Borland Database Engine. Then I restarted system.

Next using Windows Add/Remove program to add a program (from CD), select 
setup.exe and reinstalled Printhouse Magic. That did not get it done all the 
way, so I reopened the registry with regedit and searched for Borland. I 
carefully examined the registry entries I found. One, configfile01 had an 
entry (double click on it to see/change) which pointed to ATAPI.dll  I 
changed that to ATAPI32.dll  I no longer have that "error in database
path" 
popup when I try to launch Family and Friends. It seems back to normal, or 
at least as normal as a Windows based machine can be. I don't know if all 
these steps are needed (and suspect they're not). But that's what's worked 
for me.

And to Corel Customer (Un)support .... well nevermind.
