Mike, Since you're using CD 1.2 with Windows 3.1, it's hard for me to say whether CorelDRAW and its modules will be able to function properly in that environment. As you know, CD 1.2 was created long before Win 3.1 came out. However, on the surface, it appears that you may have run out of temp space. What you should do is look in your autoexec.bat for a line that says "set temp=" (make sure it's after your path statement). Wherever it's pointing to is where the temporary files should be going to (verify that they're going to a directory that actually exists). Then go into the File Manager and check how much HD space is available, you'll want to ensure you have about 5MB. If all those things are okay, then just before you start to trace something go into the File Manager and change to the directory where the temporary files are supposed to go (what you're trying to do here is just to get Windows to "acknowledge" that directory to ensure that Trace puts the temp files there). Then exit out of File Manager and try again. Let me know how it goes. Donna
