MORE INFORMATION

The above error message(s) may occur if the subdirectory for CorelDRAW! has been moved or if the WIN.INI file is missing the correct CorelDRAW! information. To eliminate these errors, place the correct settings in the WIN.INI file.

During the installation process, CorelDRAW! versions 2.0 and 2.01L create an entry in the WIN.INI file that tells the system where to look for necessary files (for example, CorelDRAW! font files) as follows: 
   [CorelDraw]
   dir=C:\CORELDRW
Also, the following line is added to the [Extensions] section 
     cdr=C:\CORELDRW\coreldrw.exe ^.cdr
where \CORELDRW is the default directory on drive C.
