> Most of my programs are actually installed that way. There's no way that I'll be converting most of them, though. What I'm doing now is running my computer 24-7 in an attempt to download all the install files for some various programs that I happen to like. I'm only keeping the save files. Of course, I'll end up losing all the stuff that I got 'free' from big businesses, of which the only ones I care about are Corel Photoshop and MS-Word. I'm going to get a new version of word, so I won't worry about that. As for Corel, I'm trying to figure out where it put everything! The version I've got became obsolete about 4 years ago or so, and I can't find a replacement yet.

Corel PhotoPaint, you mean? That's a part of CorelDraw, the latest versions of which *can* read older versions' files. Though, be warned, the interface has just *slightly* changed over the years (and that's an understatement); which version do you currently have?
