World's Funniest Windows Error Messages

- - 26 comments
World's Funniest Windows Error Messages: We all know how it sucks to see error messages. If you have been using Windows all your life, you have probably seen lots of them already.

Since some people have learned to look at the bright or should I say funny side of life, they have decided to create something out of those error messages. They have Photoshopped or edited some Windows error messages and made them look so realistic to try to tickle our funny bone.

I want you all to sit back, relax, and enjoy our collection of some of the world's funniest Windows error messages:


BSOD must be closed


What will you do now?


Missing keyboard


Just a bug


Too much uptime


Bad Office Assistant


Windows has performed an illegal operation


The operation completed successfully... or not!


Microsoft EULA violation


Deleting data on a free space


Totally understandable EULA


Everything's messed up


Just an Error Reminder


The Missing Tips File


Windows Hardware Update


What would you do now?


Blackmail!


The end of the Internet


Random error


Replace user


Error deleting files


Too much errors


Remind me next year


From a Russian ATM machine


Is the last one real or not? I hope you had fun but if you want more amusing stuff, you may want to check these out:

    most errors are creations made with paint or are result of ads or virus ....... too bad, there is no need to do that to get funny error messages.

    But I have seen a "Keyboard error - hit F2 to continue" from an Intel BIOS.

    Favorite SunOS from the old days: "Bill says this can't happen."

    Eh, I'm a Linux user, but I really don't like M$ hate that much. Seriously, dislike them for valid reasons, but wtf is up with all these fake error's that do nothing other than make the 'Other Side' think we're all set on making a bad image of Windows (And, no, I don't mean as in a Virtual Machine or for imaging Systems). Let Apple (The True Evil Here) do that so we can point and laugh at both.

    If the title said "Joke Error Messages," then I wouldn't be disappointed to find a bunch of fake errors here.

    Some are actual errors or copies of them, though. I have actually seen the errors that said:

    "Error: Operation completed successfully."

    "Cannot delete file .... There is not enough disk space. Delete one or more files and try again." (now you get to re-install Windows, or at least you did back when I used to see this on Windows 95/98)

    "Windows has detected that you have moved your mouse. Windows must now restart your computer."

    Also the Russian ATM machine error looks to be real, and a couple of the others are plausible.

  16. The Vista one is not by the system, it's the fucked up driver. :P

    And yes, several of these are either fake or by ISVs (even if they're genuine). Funny thing tho, the ATM could very well be real. I get lots of these at work.

  18. ACTUALLY ITS BEEN TOLD THAT MOST IMAGES HAVE BEEN EDITED. SO THERE IS NO REASON TO SAY THAT THEY ARE FAKE...FAKE BUT FUNNY

  19. I agree with ANONYMOUS. Most of these error messages seem to be programmed with Visual Basic 6. Here's an example.

    msgbox('Proceeding with the DELETE Operation will erase the contents of your hard drive. _ What do you wish to do ?',_ vbCritical+vbOKCancel,'Warning')

  20. A very common problem with Windows explorer is reported on all Windows help forums. I've seen people complaining about problem with long path files deletion.

    Some common problems with Windows Explorer people talk about:

    - Doesn't allow to delete files with long path names
    - Pops up error while deleting unwanted files or unnecessary files
    - Errors like: Access denied, sharing violation, source in use etc.

    I've found a very simple but smart solution for all these above mentioned common problems. A very simple but powerful tool to overcome these problems. Everyone who plays with the files must have this tool. Its compatible with all versions of Microsoft Windows.
