By generating an error message, the computer tries to convey that something is wrong. At least that is what an error message is supposed to do. But all that will change when you take a look at the following error messages. Please bear in mind that these are all real error messages.
No Keyboard Error
This is one of the first error messages I came across when I first bought my computer. The problem was that I had forgotten to plug in my keyboard. I found the error message to be hilarious because it asks you to press F1 or DEL when it knows that no keyboard is connected.
Unknown error?
This is one of the strangest error messages I have ever come across in Windows ME. Guys, what am I supposed to understand from this message?
No Error?
One of the weirdest error messages we have seen in Macromedia Dreamweaver is this one. It’s very clear that it is an error, but the text states otherwise. So who are we supposed to trust?
Money laundering?
This is a funny error in Microsoft Money 98 which doesn’t make any sense at all. We think Money 98 is trying to cover-up some misappropriation of funds in this way. What do you think?
Excel 97 doesn’t want to quit
Excel 97 gives this error if you press the F8 function key at the wrong time – it simply refuses to let you quit the application.
Error in the error report
What kind of an error report would be generated if an error creeps into the error report?
Security gone over the edge
The above error message was generated when Windows 2000 users logged into an MIT Kerberos realm and got a shock of their lives on attempting to change their password. They were given a seemingly impossible task of setting a password with 18,770 characters that was different from the last 30,689 passwords. Thankfully, this uncommon error was fixed with the release of SP3 for Windows 2000.
RSOD?
While BSODs or Blue Screen Of Death errors are commonplace with Windows users, the above Red Screen Of Death was encountered by a few Beta Testers of Windows Vista.
Please leave me alone!
Sometimes, Windows seems to be stuck in something for a seemingly endless amount of time and this is when you get such an error message. It is best to leave it alone then.
In error, yet successful
If it is an error, then it’s got to be unsuccessful, right? Not really if you take a look at the Windows error above.
So, what is an expected error?
Like most of us, Microsoft Data Link also does not expect any error to appear and when an error does appear, it has to be an unexpected one. You are even given a tip to investigate that error.
Is it 2012?
2012, touted as the year of global catastrophes, is fast approaching, but Windows Movie Maker has been having such catastrophic errors since day one.
I am bored. I’ve got nothing to do
This is an old error that used to occur in Windows 98 when you try to delete a folder with a name that includes an extension from inside a compressed folder.
I am not supposed to fail, do you hear me?
While it seems that failure is not really an option, yet when you fail, you get an error message as above.
And now the Task Manager stops responding
What do you do when an application stops responding in Windows? You quickly hit Ctrl+Alt+Del to open the Task Manager so that you can end that program. Now what will you do if the Task Manager itself stops responding? You got any idea?
To delete or not to delete?
This is the beginning of the end or the end of the beginning. It seems time-space continuum got disrupted when Windows gave this error, because according to this error, you need to free up space to be able to delete something and not the other way round.
What an irony!
It is a bit of an irony that an error is generated in Windows and it states that the OS type cannot be detected. The above error used to appear when anyone tried to uninstall Option Pack 4 from Windows NT Server 4.0.
