Error 24 when opening coreldraw x4

Posted by John Gregson on June 1, 2010 at 8:57 am

Hi All,
For anyone that’s had an error pop up today when opening x4 your not the only one. It seems to effect anyone using versions which aren’t country specific and has something to do with today’s date.

Work around isn’t great, as it effects your emails etc, but you have to change your computers date back to Feb.

That’ll teach me to buy from ebay 😳

I wanted to jump in and let everyone know that Corel is aware of this issue and we are looking into it further.

Stay tuned,

I’m sure corel will help you as best they can.
I’ve not had any issues here with X4 on either XP Pro or W7 machines.

Same here, I brought a new genuine sealed version of Corel Draw from Ebay, or so I believed until now

Corel are upping their game regarding security so buying from legitimate sources must be the way to go. Corel direct, Amazon and the like will be fine but I would be very wary of some internet sites, same old story if it seems to good to be true , then it probably is.
