Why not try reinstalling Coral either ontop itself or clean install then restore your backup of the data.

Good Luck

This should be a software issue but it has got nothing to do with Coral. Most likely it's Win98SE. Common VxD error is usually cause by a certain program that you tried to run and this program is accessing a part of the memory that has been reservedfor Win98. This happen and the illegal operation message pops out. Under normal circumstances, a reboot should do the trick. However if it doesn't, than that is a another issue where you should look at your hardware configuration.

Thanks, The software has a program(dad8) that runs in with windows, and you cant delete it unless you disable it. Then the secretary reloaded Corel and never uninstalled it(dad8)so it was causing the resources to run low causing it to crash.Thanks for pointing me in the right direction
