These are all genuine error messages I've gotten from Windows or Windows applications.

Access and ODBC get really confused.

And now Access is completely clueless as to what happened.

Look at the buttons. Yes, the right button brought up a help file.

Look at the title bar. Does this look like a top-level directory?

This one's from Windows NT, and is without a doubt the funniest dialog box I've ever seen from any program. The mind just boggles...

So do I stop the operation or stop the operation?

I swear that Visual Basic delivered me this exact error message box while working on an Excel macro. It was not a debugging Msgbox() output; VB did this all by itself.

OK, great. What kind of error?

"... "

How does this happen? MSDN Library isn't on the web, it's a local desktop application.

Uh oh. Now how do I get support for this crash?

Ha-ha!

I said, ha-ha!

Er, it sure looks to me like Outlook is installed...

That's a lot of dropped frames.

Microsoft Word can't start Microsoft Word? OK, so then who started Microsoft Word?

I love this one. Yes, I would like to continue keeping my computer!
