    a problem YET ! I suppose I'll have to update at a later time. I' m guessing that they just quit supporting
    the older versions just like had happened with my Word Program !! :evil: :evil: Pits !! :twisted:
    And I hope that you don't have any problems because your version isn't supported anymore, either. They are now only supporting 9 and 10. I never had a problem with it, even making Flat Rita just over a month ago, until now. And now it won't even open. I has to be a bad interaction with some automatically updated software since I haven't made any changes myself. I'll ask my System Administrator friend to see if she can figure it out, but it really burns my bottom that they don't support software for longer than about 6 months.

    Lois - I'm also signed up for David Taylor's class in Houston, so I'll see you there! Even if I switch to CorelPaint, the concepts will be the same. And I'm guessing that David's class will be concentrating more on how to use it to design applique quilts, while I'm hoping to get more about drawing quilting design on top of the quilt from this class. But I could be completely wrong since that was just my guess.

            Nancy, I suggest you uninstall your version and then turn off your computer before reinstalling it. Sometimes weird things happen and this is the solution.
            I don't know the version 7, but it's minimal what new things come in the newer versions. If your version works with layers you're good to go. Else I would say you should buy the version 9 or 10, because you will not want to draw on your quilts without being able to work on layers. Maybe this will not make sense to you now, but it will when you get more into the class. Good luck!

              Hi Norma -

              Thanks! I do understand layers and it makes perfect sense. Version 7 does have layers, so should be sufficient for everything that I need to do. I am planning on trying a reinstall and will make sure to reboot beforehand. That's a good idea. I tried just rebooting when the problem first occured because that fixes a lot of things, but probably wouldn't have thought to reboot between the uninstall and the reinstall. I also know that I'll be needing to upgrade my laptop sometime soon, but really, really don't like Windows 7 so keep putting that off.

                I had exactly the same problem a month ago with version 8, i also bought mine a year ago. the "experts" helped and within a couple of days and i was up and running again.
