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…

The device is error?

Try figuring this out:

You do not have permission?

Extended error?

Windows Media Player error?

Unknown Device Installed?

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?

    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.

    none are as good as the bios error of “Keyboard Error. Press F1 to Continue”

      nekosune says:

      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
