WhoooHoooo, So glad I found this thread!

Been a while since I've been here. I have Corel Draw 11 installed on my old Windows XP machine (back up computer) that is very slow and crash prone so I never use it any more and now that I have a laptop as a backup I was thinking of wiping the HD converting it to a Linux machine but always hesitated because of my beloved Coreldraw11 installed on it. After reading this thread I tried installing it on my Windows 8.1 machine ( I have all 5 disks) AND IT WORKED WELL!

I use Xara Photo & Graphic Designer 2013 almost everyday (I'm just a hobbyist) but I have missed using Corel draw even though I have Gimp, Paint.net and PhotoScape, all fine programs but not quite the same. I remember much of the Corel Draw Photo-Paint 11 interface but not all of it so it should be fun to experiment and get re-familiarized with it, thanks again!
