Hi, welcome to TSF

CorelDraw 9 was not designed for XP, although it does usually work ok. Install the 2 service packs below, then reboot and try opening the program again.

Links: CorelDRAW 9 Service Pack 1, Service Pack 2

If the files you're trying to open are large and contain lots of layers, it could be a problem with low RAM. 512mb is the minimum for XP, but 1 or 2gb is generally recommended for working with large media files. You will also need plenty of free hard drive space for the temp files and undo points created by CorelDraw.
