You've all probably had some confusing error message on your computer - let's share some!
I'll start with 2:
Windows: No keyboard detected. Press F1 to continue
(if you plug in a keyboard, press F1, and unplug it, the error will come up again!)
Google Sketchup: Cannot save file. File does not exist.
(of course it doesn't exist - I haven't saved it yet!)
Have fun!

Whenever Windows used to say

This program has performed an illegal operation...

I used to think that its been working in a back street physicians surgery.

And what is windows going to do about it? Send the program to jail?

The alert box that ended my already fractured relationship with Windoze:

"Error: Operation Completed Successfully"

I wiped it that night!

It can't be called an error.... but I'll give it a mention anyway...
In Win XP (doesn't work with 2000, 98, Vista)....

....There is a "secret" music song.... to find it...
Windows Explorer > C: Drive > Windows > system32 > oobe > images > [and open] title.wma

if you are using a different OS, youtube search "title.wma", it's 5 minutes long ,so sit back and relax and have a listen...

There are a number of sources to what this was used for:
1. Install music for Windows 3.1
2. Install music for Windows 3.1 Internet Explorer
3. Install music for Windows 95 Internet Explorer
4. Install music for XP itself...

Thought I'd give it a mention....

Best Regards,
Luke.

I hate that! Explorer essentially is the operating system, and it's really really really hard to get it running again without a reboot.
