Recently I bought from a charity shop a CorelDraw 12 full version graphics suite - really out of curiosity. When I checked what it could do I thought I had a real bargain. However, checking further I found there were only discs 2 and 3 of what I believe should be a 4 disc set. I think disc 1 is the installation disc and the others are different applications. As I'm not sure how it might affect my set up I've not tried LOADING anything to my pc - I thought I should get some advice first. Is it possible to get individual discs for programs?

Any advice would be appreciated.

I am in the UK and have access to both Vista and XP I want to 1st off draw your ATTENTION to 2 factors re your question. The version you have (12 ) was created in 2003 and ONLY functions with win 2000 and xp. Secondly there are free full featured versions of the most current software available from the Corel site for use for 30 days. You might want to look on the UK e-Bay site for someone that is offering your version or any other. Just be careful to ensure it is a legitimate release before purchasing it. truenorth
P.S. This is what the full package would have included.
What's in the Box
Four CD-ROMs, including lynda.com interactive training CD, CorelDraw 12, Corel Photo-Paint 12, Corel R.A.V.E. 3, CorelTrace 12, CorelCapture 12; user guide, digital content manual, and quick-start/registration card.

The 2 discs that I have are in the original DVD case, listing PhotoPaint and R.A.V.E, and include Product Authenticity Card with registration code. I presume the CONTENTS of these would not work without the disc 1 needed for installation?

I did check eBay and Amazon but the prices were too much for me. I only wanted to see what the program could do - I might try Corel's free trial as you suggest.

Thanks again.
