- Hello Mr. Reeves,
-
- The "Waldo" message is an error message from Windows version of CorelDraw.
- I was under the impression that this error message only appeared in beta
- test versions of the software (which would be usually limited to a few
- beta test sites) but it may have been present in the production version.
- You should be able to contact the manufacturer for a patch.
