Sounds like the same problem I had. Yes it is junk and no I haven't tried anything else. It does work for me now, more features than I care to learn. Now .. on to a 'possible' solution. The first install screen wil ask you which drive OS/2 IS ON! The second screen should ask you where to INSTALL IT! Yes it sucks and is dumb and I have already BTDT. :-) So first tell it where OS/2 is THEN tell it where to install CorelDraw. Give it a try and see. P.S. If you can get a refund you might want to try another program. Like I said CorelDraw does MORE than I need but they are not very interested in supporting OS/2. Others are.
