Windows Vista is always in the news on the blogosphere about how effective it performs. No matter what version of Vista you may be running, it’s possible that you may have already seen these error messages more than once and may well probably be fed up with them!



(I have no idea how the above pic came about, but you’ve been encouraged!)
More following the jump…

Try figuring this out:

Oh dear, so many error messages to choose from… I believe my favourite out of the ten would be the ‘do not have permission to view the permission setting’ error and my runner-up would be the “extended error has occurred”. Still not being a Vista user myself, can anyone tell me if the recent service pack update has helped in avoiding these errors at all?







Re the “upgrade to GNU/Linux” one – pfft, photoshopped.
its a virus duhh
Your creative department is doing its job!
[...] para ilustrar com tinta a √≥leo o tema, nada melhor que uma colherada de 10 mensagens de erro mais grotescas do Windows Vista. Porque √© impag√°vel n√£o ver um log do que aconteceu e se contentar com um… [...]
speak english fuckwit…what the fuck are you talking about???
A √∫nica que n√£o √© verdade, eu acho, √© a “You are strongly encouraged to upgrade to GNU/Linux.”, mas o resto acho que √© verdade sim.
Thanks for your comment, that one was one of our favourite!
[...] Aonde isso ???? O Windows Vista é um sistema que possui dezenas, centenas de erros, e AQUI estão alguns dos principais erros do Windows [...]
Very funny! WMP error is the best.
all photoshopped, all the words have a background which is not white, bad job
Please, next time use Google before making stupid statements.
Other formats than BMP and TGA dis sort colors around letters, as they compress image
but “the device is error” does not make sense…….
These can also be created using Microsofts SDK tools like Visual Basic and Visual C++. But it looks like at least some of these messages are real.
when my laptop got a virus this past September, I once got a screen from vista that read "catastrophic failure"…best worded message I have ever gotten from a computer!
hah i use now win 7 and Ubuntu
Well , the view of the passage is totally correct ,your details is really reasonable and you guy give us valuable informative post, I totally agree the standpoint of upstairs. I often surfing on this forum when I m free and I find there are so much good information we can learn in this forum! http://www.brfinder.net/
Great messages. So did you end up switching to Linux?
My favorite is (An error has occurred while creating an error report) isn’t that just tipical.
only morons fall for this… also.. Typical* .. . i wonder if you fell for it.
Most of these are photoshopped.
none are as good as the bios error of “Keyboard Error. Press F1 to Continue”
Everyone has a go at that, ignoring the fact that it usually meant a keyboard was not plugged in, and you could simply PLUG ONE IN without having to restart the computer, I myself have got that error, realised my keyboard was not plugged in, plugged it in then pressed F1
Which is your Favourite?
hahaha awesome if the error message “upgrade to GNU/Linux” is not photoshoped is the best error message i ever see, creat article really make me laugh
GNU/Linux isn't real at all.
great post with awesome pictures… I lke it thanks
Fake and ghey.
