I have XP Home and I have been using Microsoft PhotoDraw 2000 for some very
limited graphics applications. Lately I have gotten the message "Unable to
start application" when I attempt to use Photodraw. I tried to go back in
time using System Restore and reinstalling PhotoDraw and that worked for a
time but I'm back to the "Unable" message. I've tried to uninstall and
reinstall but no luck. Any ideas out there?

Unfortunately Photodraw isn't supported on XP. In fact, it's been
discontinued.

Thanks for clearing that up for me. I'll have to learn a new program for my
very limited usage.
