If you use a computer (yes even a Mac) you get error messages. Some of these error messages can be more frustrating than helpful, but every once and awhile they are just damn funny.

  1. Saites Said,

    What other things can you take entirely from a site found via stumbleupon?

  2. Television Sanity Said,

    That last one looks fake. When would it ever check your serial and match it against other users using that serial? Maybe during validation - but in that case it would just say - “That cd key is being used” or “Invalid CD Key” - it doesn’t actually mention how many users are using the cd key right down to the 1,002,931st user.

    Perhaps I’m wrong but that last error seems really fake.

  3. Devlin Said,

    The Dreamweaver one is the only real funny one, but they’re all pretty good.

  4. silicontrip Said,

    Cannot delete file, not enough free space, please delete one or more files and try again.

  5. eatchex89 Said,

    the last one is a fake. Not only is the font size (and possibly font) totally different from the normal font, but illegal was spelled “illigal”. Microsoft’s error messages don’t misspell “illegal”.

  6. Sid Said,

    an old DOS error:

    “Keyboard is missing; press F1 to continue”

  8. Knuckles10 Said,

    I have personally seen 1, 3, and 7. The last one is fake.

  9. Kane Said,

    Seen some of them before.

    But still great, keep the stuff rolling.

  10. patrick Said,

    I find it funny that nearly half of these are from Vista.

  11. Planet Malaysia Said,

    said NO NO NO to Micro$oft!

  12. DarkWarrior Said,

    This is funny but most of them are not real errors….

  13. Bob Said,

    @Saites

    Someone call the waaaaaaaaahhhmbulance!

  14. maotx Said,

    One of my favorite errors from removing a USB printer on a Windows Server that was causing errors: “Printer cannot be removed. The printer is out of paper”

    Funny thing is that it had paper in it.

  15. Sanchez Said,

    Lol how funny

  16. todd Said,

    the last one would be funny if illegal wasn’t spelt wrong

  17. Tyler @ Building Camelot Said,

    Sweet - I love the first one. These are great.

  18. Jade Said,

    I had one when i was installing windows xp on my computer where it said: “Error: Windows has detected that no mouse is connected to the computer click to continue.” And i was like omfg stupid Microsoft i can’t click!!!!

    Thanks for sharing these!

    I got this very funny error, while trying to open a help file that was compiled using WinHelp32.exe (which seems to be unsupported in Vista):

    http://atzeundpeng.serendipia.net/uploads/vista-help.jpg

    (this is in german, but you can easily reproduce it)

  24. Matt Said,

    You guys don’t realise that the point of messages like “No keyboard detected, press F1 to continue” and “No mouse detected, click to continue” is to force you to connect the relevant device do you?

  25. Streetwise Said,

    LOL these are funny. Can’t wait to try them out!

  26. Daemon Said,

    Most of this errors are not WINDOWS errors, rather they are errors of other software. And among those which are Windows errors, most of them are either fake, or completely normal.

    Example: make shortcut to Recycle Bin, remove “Shortcut to:” from name, delete that shortcut, and you get that message. There is not error in that …

  27. dingdong Said,

    most of those are application errors, that has nothing to do with windows…

  28. hellclanner Said,

    To be frank, these errors are problem by the programmers, not Windows. the last one is an edited one.

    but they are funny hahas xD

  29. Renato Said,

    the catastrophic one is the best!

  30. Adamm Said,

    I think the Best One, I get often… that This is missing, is the
    >>empty Recycle Bin…
    ” ARE YOU SURE YOU WANT TO DELETE “windows”?”

  31. ParoX Said,

    The NET_SEND: NO ERROR one is because the programmer was an idiot and didn’t use the #defined value for NO_ERROR.

    if(operation()==0)
    doGoodThings();
    else
    perror(”operation”);

    should’ve used:
    if(operation==NO_ERROR)

    Yay for Catastrophic Failure errors :D

  32. Rob Schultz Said,

    My favorite one that I ever experienced was “Keyboard not connected. Press F1 to continue”.

    It made my day!

  33. Web design and development forum Said,

    These are funny, especially the ‘error - the operation completed successfully.’

    moving swiftly on…

  34. Andrew Said,

    pretty funny. I was working on a client-site windows machine and I decided to empty the recycle bin. It said that the recycle bin emptied, but the icon showed that it still had files in it. I tried to empty it again and I got an prompt that said “Are you sure that you want to delete ‘windows’?” I thought to myself, “don’t tempt me Microsoft.” Unfortunately, I did not get a screen-shot and I still regret it.

    Good stuff though.

  35. Maddman Said,

    One of the best wasn’t exactly an error message, but one I saw trying to shut down a unix mainframe during a power outage. After issuing the shutdown command, I had to go through these confirmations

    “Are you sure you want to shut down? [Y/N]”

    “Are you REALLY REALLY sure you want to shut down? [Y/N]”

    “Are you willing to bet your life that you REALLY want to shut down? [Y/N]”

    Also while complining a Linux kernel

    “Kernel Panic. This really should never happen.”

  36. PiticStyle Said,

    :) The last is great!

    I’ve gotten the catastrophic failure message. That was really a treat.

  39. James Said,

    Two quick gems:
    - Bluetooth unplugged
    - Recursive crash

  40. ads Said,

    dreamweaver one is not a windows error

    Haha that’s funny!

  43. Corgan Said,

    Not an error, but when I got a new laptop a few years back, it had XP, and thus, Internet Explorer. I immediately went to download Firefox, and it told me that it thought the file might be unsafe. I know it was because it was an executable, but IE reporting that Firefox was unsafe was a tad amusing.

    Press F1 to retry, F2 to ignore.

    Only M$ can come out these errors~~
    The one I’ve met and really piss me off is “An error has occured while creating error report”.

  48. Clifford N Said,

    I remember one from Micro$oft FoxPro: Error 6 while reporting error 6.
