2003 equivalent of PhotoDraw

[ACP in JHB SA]

When I got Office 2000 a number of years ago, it ws bundled with PhotoDraw,
which I found hugely useful - not often used, but absolutely the idel package
for what I needed when I needed it. I was using Win 98 SE at the time.

I now run Office 2003 Professional on an XP Pro platform. I tried to
install the old PhotoDraw today because I needed to update a job I did
before. It seems to load OK but will not run. Can it be tweaked to run or,
failing that, is there a equivalent to PhotoDraw 2000 that runs on the XP
platform? I don't particularly want to go through the cost and learning
curve of something like Photoshop, which I am sure would do what I need to
do, but which would be a bit like using an elephant gun on a rat!

Advice and/or suggestions, please?

Adrian
