Is this true ?? 2 I have coreldraw installed when I double click on a file associated with photopaint it comes up with windows can not find this file but if I open photopaint then browse to the file it opens fine. This is the only association I have this problem with, I have tried re-associating it with other programmes and they open fine with them but then if I associate them back with corel I get problems again???
