Best error messages you've ever seen?

Mine is just now, in windows media player.

After playing some tunes on my 300w speakers (I have around 50gb of music btw if not 60gb!), Windows pops up with this message:-

"Too many files, will stop playing now"

Hahahahaha, made me laugh my ass off! Looks like windows doesn't like my NRG collection! Made my day, anyways, whats the funniest errors you've seen to date?

"Error massage " " If you have received this Error Massage in Error there is a Error"

[JSIMMO]

Haha, could do with with some 1000w!

And where'd you get that massage?!

We had some problems with updating some entries into a new database at a place I used to work with the wrong thing being put in the wrong box. Until the techies could redesign that bit and as a temporary measure to get my point across, I put some dialogue boxes on which used to drive the staff mad which went something like:-

Are you sure you want to do this - Y/N
Are you really sure that this information shouldn't be in the *** box - Y/N
Are you so sure that this is right you would stake your first born on it? Y/N
Are you so positive this is right that BM is not going to scream at you for four days and huff and puff round the office - Y/N.

The boss was the worse one for cocking it up so I had an extra one that said "John, if you are reading this, click "no" and do not touch BM's database again. Now put your feet up and someone will make you a nice cup of coffee".

I used to work for a company that wrote software programs. During the testing stage the program kept failing in an area it should not go into and we could not understand why.

So the developer wrote some code which displayed a window which said "This should never happen" and it displayed some "help" information (to help him solve the problem).

Of course, we forgot to take out this window, and a few months after the product shipped we got a call from a customer who said they had recieved this error window which said "This should never happen".

They were not too pleased.

The first time I got this PC error message it made me laugh:

Keyboard Error: Press F1 to resume

I got this one when creating an auto-update for our software, using Go Update:

The version number "1.0" is not the correct format, please try again using the format "1.0".

After a particularly heavy session one night, I came into work with a stinking hangover - maybe still drunk. I turned on my laptop and the first thing I saw was a message pop up saying "Memory Low".

I thought technology had advanced substantially over night

The best one I've seen was from a mail daemon, which said "I've encountered a problem that I don't understand so I'm giving up and will kill myself" .... and sure enough it did kill the process.

Linux coders do have a sense of humour when it comes to error messages though.

I've also seen a "there has been a fatal error, the error is "action has completed successfully""

[SkellieMonster]

I can't remember where I saw it but there was one that read 'An error occurred because an error occured.'

Really helpful!

That and the bluddy 'Guru Meditation' that used to appear on Amiga's!
