Dear Sirs My husand try to
Dear SirsMy husand try to put his training CD for Corel Draw in his computor, and it will not work. When he tries it always come with message that there is a problem with the Meedia Player.
We was wondering if there a CD for the media player that we can purchase?
I was told that if I purchase a Movie program that it would solve mt problem, is this true?
Any help would make me very happy, cause about now I am ready to say the heck with the computor and get rid of it.
Thanks
