Very strange an incomfortable problem I come when I installed windows
xp

Now I will start to explain the things as detailed as I can:

For the first time I installed my Corel Graphics Suite 11 package yet
under my Windows 98. I was having version 10 before. No problems I had.
Both versions were on my platform but I didn't have so specific
execution problem since now.

I installed my Windows XP over my Windows 98. Everything was working
fine and I also didn't have any problems with my Coreldraw11.

Suddenly later during the time (after a days) my system catched a
network execution problem. I was engaged to reinstall my Windows XP.
All the settings and intallations were lost.

When Windows XP was ready for use the first I did I installed my Corel
Graphics Suite 11 on the fresh Windows XP intallation left untouched.

the steps I did are the following:

*I start the setup
*chosed the following components: CorelDraw
Utilities
Import/Exprot File types
Writting tools
*installation passed with no errors visible
*Run my Bitstream Font Navigator for the first. I chosed to scan my
fonts on my data directory, 'next'.
*after an exaple of 'Fonts found 2xxx' it goes freezed.
*I am engaged to restart windows xp manualy pressing the restart
button. Entire file check procedure is neccessary to be waited to
finish each time.
*I try to change up my windows xp page file size. I set all my hard
drives to allow virual memory space. My total paging file size is set
to custom size and it values: 7500 MB. I set it to grater value then
windows xp allocates automaticaly.
* I restart my windows by it's request.
* I try to do the font registering procedure again but sometimes I be
engaged to reinstall corel 11 again and to delete it's all files on hd
I know they exist there.
The thng happens: font registration procedure succed. If I try to do it
again for eventual font list change in my data directory there is the
freeze risk again.
To mention else that I was using my corel 11 under Windows 98 and I
didn't take this problem.
*I open my CorelDraw 11.
*I start navigating throght option setting an personalizing my work
desktop in corel enviroment. I open my works and documents in CorelDraw
11.
*Suddenly while I am doing it I take it freezed. Manual windows xp
restart is needed by restart button. My hard disk before it is going to
happen starts indicating it's activity. After it happened it goes
constantly active and it looks like when you do copy, disk integrity
check and every other case when the intensive activity of hard disk is
required.

I hope that I provide enough datas for the present.

If some additional datas are neccessery me to tell?

If somebody had similar experience?

This is very frustrating.

Thank you for reply.

I intalled Service Pack 2 for Corel Graphic Suite 2. I entered into
corel and nothing was freezed then.

I tried to start and close my coreldraw11 more times and to navigate
through it. No freezing occured.

After I left my Winodows XP freezed suddenly. No corel application was
loaded by user.

To ask if I need to install the last Windows XP Service Pack I do not
have it installed yet.
