[igiul 0]

Hi! I need some help here...please!!!

When I try to run Corel Photo-Paint versions 4.0 with Windows XP,

I receive the following error message:

 

PntVideo.DRV not found or not enough memory

 

this is strange because I've got 256 MB RAM and 801 MHz

 

what should I do to fix this problem????

Try running it with the App Compatability program, in the start menu/ programs/ accessories.

Isn't Corel 4 a 16-bit Windows app? I think it may be time to move up to a 32-bit version or try reinstalling it if you haven't done so.

my picture until I'll get a 32-bit, there must be a way to make this old version work, no?!!!

Technically you shouldn't have a problem with 16-bit Windows apps in XP or NT. I am running Encarta 95 still, and its a 16-bit app. The problem may be due to incorrect win.in and system.ini entries. Ah I remember those, you'll have to consult your documentation with Corel 4, other than that there isn't much anyone can do here. If you wanna work with some JPG or GIF or BMP images you can use Windows Paint, if you are working with Corel Draw files, there may be some shareware programs over on download.com that can import it for ya. Good luck.
