Re: Corel Photo Paint Version 7.0 compatible with Windows 10?

Well, as it turned out, thanks very for all the suggestions, Paul, but what I did was search through a lot of my personal clutter, and although it took me more than an hour, I finally managed to find my old CD for Corel Draw (Version 7), and when I used it to install Corel Photo-Paint 7 on my new Dell Inspiron 3880 PC that runs on Windows 10, I had no problems at all.  But now I have a different problem.  How can I use the "Print Screen" button on my keyboard to copy an image to the clipboard in CPP7, as I was able to do on my previous PC (an HP) on Windows 7?  I can't remember how I did it in Windows 7, but I think it had something to do with setting certain programs to open with certain types or files, or something like that, which I haven't been able to figure out how to do yet on Windows 10.  Any further suggestions would be very much appreciated - THANKS again for EVERYTHING.
