Welcome leot. I have had Photodraw 2000 once upon a time until I changed to Office 2003. I ran it on Windows XP and had many problems with it, all of which was solved by the great guys here in this forum.

You should try this: Go to the Photodraw.exe or start menu shortcut and right-click on properties and go to the compatibility tab. You should select program compatibility and set it to run as Windows 98/ME. This should solve your problems. If not, I am really not sure. One of the Photodraw dynamic link libaries don't really work well with XP so that casues alot of problems. This should fix all Photodraw program related errors but I cannot ensure that it will work. Just try it and reply.
