I have installed Corel Draw Rev.B onto a new computer running under Windows
XP Home OEM. It works fine except for one thing - I cannot save a new or
altered CDR file. Is there a fix for this, please?

Sorry, It is version 3.

Corel 3 is *very* old and uses proprietary fonts. Honestly, you're 8
versions behind. If you really plan on using the app, you'll want to
upgrade. You'll have to get, I believe, v5 because that's the last version
that can read v3 files, and then use another newer version to translate the
files to current levels (current being 9 thru 11)

Xara is a good app - what versions of Draw can it import?
