I had the same mysterious problem, and got round it by loading an old
graphics file, deleting everything, and using it as a template for the
new file.  I also had problems making a bit-map of a largish picture,
so had to save the whole window and paste it into Paint.  

Surely someone has come out with a cheap alternative to Corel by now? 
I could do better drawings with my old Atari ST and a 70-quid drawing program
than with my current Windows setup!
