empty window

Hi, new here and I hope someone can help me. I've used CorelDraw for over a decade now and get this intermittent problem that happens enough to make me put off doing artwork for a few hours because it's frustrating and, well, sometimes I have no choice. Sometimes I can restart my computer and it works, but not for long.

This is what I get when I try to open a file, save a file, or import/export an image in CorelDraw 9. I do also have v11 installed and this doesn't happen there, but since I'm used to the tools, etc., in v9 and I don't like some things about v11, I use v9. I have a P4 2.8G running XP. This problem *only* happens in Draw v9, no other programs have this problem.

Any ideas/suggestions greatly appreciated.

thanks,
-Michael

Use application.corelscripttools.getfolder or getfile followed by activedocument.saveas to replace standard dialog

Sub saveFile()
   Dim s$
   s = Application.CorelScriptTools.GetFileBox("CorelDRAW Documents (*.cdr)|*.cdr", "Save document", 1, ActiveDocument.FileName, "CDR", ActiveDocument.FilePath, "Save")
   If s <> "" Then ActiveDocument.SaveAs s
End Sub
