When I opened up my CorelDraw 7 program this morning, all my toolbars, buttons and icons were missing. I'm able to open my files and use hot keys, but when I click on the "view" tab, the program shuts down claiming that I have performed an "illegal operation". Am I up Sh*t's Creek without a paddle, or is there a way to get back in so I can get some work done? Woe is me. Thank you all in advance.

Immediately after double clicking the icon to launch the program, hold down the F8 key. After a moment it should ask you if you want to overwrite the current workspace with the factory default workspace. That might fix your problem.

Corel is the most buggie, program I use. Tonight, I did a fairly complex layout & was having problems, saved it to work on later, decided to import an element, opened it the layout & it was gone. Backup was gone as well
I love/hate Corel right now. It is alway doing something screwy.

I'm still in limbo..... Bob...nothing happens when I press F8. Tried it about 20 times.........zip. I've been lucky, I guess. Never had any major trouble with Corel 7........guess it's just my time. Does anyone know any other way to access Corel default page? Thanks for the responses.

Bob's on the right track, maybe phrase it a little differently.
Hold F8 as you launch the application to restore factory defaults. If that fails then you are indeed looking at a reinstall. 7 was stable as a rock, used it for years.
