Corel Draw and AI files

[Spinal2k2]

Has anyone else who has corel draw had problems with it opening Adobe Illustrator (.ai) files.

When ever i try to open an .ai file (whic CD says it supports) it sents the CPU usage to max, and locks up (not the PC but CD locks up).

how long does it take

ive tried the normal open, and import options but both times it sits there for ages sending cpu on full load (CPU fan starts to speed up).

Some ive left for ages and CD still sits there in the locked state - the only way out is to right click on the task bar icon and click close (or ctrl-atl-del) which both give the coreldraw is not responding - end now box.

are there any .ai to .cdr or eps formats that corel draw opens with out having a wobbler when it is a .ai file
