Title: Funny computer stuff
Description: wacky error messages, etc


NTG56 - July 29, 2004 07:59 PM (GMT)
Ok seeing as several people found those Chex movie posters i did funny, i figured i'd create a now topic. you can also put anything else funny (such as cryptic error messages and the like) on this topic too.

Here are some to get you started on what i mean:

These 2 are real errors i got from Doom Legacy, i started gaetting the second one pretty often, and refered to it as the "MAD magizine" error. :D

Doom Legacy recrusive error 1

Doom Legacy recrusive error 2


This one is a real screenshot of the "install" folder on my dekstop. I use this folder to store all of the files i download off of the internet. Unfortunattly, i aslo tend to unzip most of the said files into this folder, making it veeerrrry big! :D

Very big folder


Some interesting files found in this folder include:

all three 650 MB CD ISO images of Fedora Linux 2.0
the first 3 alpha releases of Doom
Doom Legacy 1.40, 1.41, & 1.42.
the installers for Liberty BASIC 2.02, 3.03, 4.0, and 4.01 alpha

A list of all # of files follows: (i'm not insane or somthing, this was really easy to do :D )

95 folders
37 EXE's
13 DLL's
38 BMP's
153 ZIP's (wow :blink: )
7 ISO CD images
37 BAS's
15 WAV's

theres a bunch of other stuff w/wierd extensions such as MSI's an stuff

I really gotta clean this folder out, dont you think? :lol:

WOW! That's one big folder!

I don't have a screenie, but here's one I got at school once...

"KEYBOARD NOT DETECTED. PRESS ENTER TO CONTINUE"

I kid you not. The keyboard's cable took a dive and died. :rolleyes:

This isnt an error but it is obviously something Microsoft should be fixing or atleast worried about. Clipit is a heartless little thing.

those are great! the "no keyboard" thing is a BIOS error, and therefor it is not possible to get a screen shot. I have got that error before though! :D It's pretty sad. The best of all is this:

Sometimes when i get an old laptop with Win95 installed on it, i delete the ooollld version of Internet Explorer that is usually installed on it. Now, back in '95, there were not many browsers out. Microsoft chose to name Internet Explorer "The Internet" in win 95. I go to delete it and it says:

"The Internet cannot fit in the recyce bin."

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:


BC, is that screenshot real? :huh:

Loremaster - July 30, 2004 02:03 AM (GMT)
BC, they musta fixed that suicide thing, cos I tried that and it don't work..... Dang! And I wanted to show me mother. She'da gotten a kick outta that! ^_^

NTG56 - July 30, 2004 02:22 AM (GMT)
what version of Word do u have? I tested it on 97 and it didn't work, i think that 2004. I have to try it out on my moms system. ^_^

froghawk - August 1, 2004 02:42 PM (GMT)
Um, you guys... the suicide thing is photoshopped. :P

And all of those folders are tiny. I have an 80gb hd, and once only had 3gb left on it. My music folder alone is 15gb.

You downloaded from your own network! That's why you got a fast speed!

You would never get that amount on the World Wide Web!

There are times I feel like my computer does this to me.

A_Jax91 - August 5, 2004 10:38 PM (GMT)

I was trying to remember that link! Someone gave me that link a couple of years ago. Its the greatest Windows thing ever.

Loremaster - August 5, 2004 11:52 PM (GMT)
I saw that on albinoblacksheep.com. That was hilarious! Run Word!

Dacicus - September 7, 2004 06:02 PM (GMT)
That was so funny! They should incorporate that suicide note thing into it. Like make the paperclip force you to write one or something.

chexfan2000 - September 7, 2004 07:47 PM (GMT)
lol, yeah. Not everyone would like it, though.

Dacicus - September 7, 2004 07:59 PM (GMT)
Good point.

NTG56 - November 10, 2004 03:23 PM (GMT)

For original language, I'll go with either arabic or chinese. For translation, I'll go with altavista babelfish. ^_^
