CorelDraw X8 crashes whenever I try to open a previous document.

Everything was working fine the last time I used it (approx 1 week ago) and now I cannot open any previous CorelDraw file.  The application will start fine, but will crash whenever I try to open a document or create a new document.  I just downloaded the most recent version (CorelDraw 2017) to see if this would work, but I get the same problem.  It only seems to be happening on my laptop though -- my desktop appears to be working fine.  

Any ideas??

There have been no updates on this machine as far as I am aware -- unless Microsoft updated something in the middle of the night that I may not have been aware of.  The machine does not appear to have been rebooted or anything.
