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.

hi!
you're right it's a 16-bit Windows app. but if I want to work with
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.
