| 473637 | 2006-07-26 05:24:00 | There was once a young man who, in his youth, professed his desire to become a great writer. When asked to define "great" he said, "I want to write stuff that the whole world will read, stuff that people will react to on a truly emotional level, stuff that will make them scream, cry, howl in pain and anger!" He now works for Microsoft, writing error messages. :lol: |

| 473638 | 2006-07-26 05:40:00 | Yeah... And seems the same dude's been moonlighting writing error messages for the *nix as well recently. Some of the errors i've seen this year would be much better replaced with something more meaningful like "Guess what.. Hahah.. It don't go!". I guess thats the price to be paid as everything becomes more standard :rollseyes: |

| 473641 | 2006-07-27 00:43:00 | Lol, are those two error messages for real? Or did you just make them up as a joke? | mejobloggs (264) | ||

| 473643 | 2006-07-27 05:29:00 | I have had both errors multiple times. The first occurs when you slipstream SP2 wrong, the second when there's a keyboard error in many BIOSes. |

| 473645 | 2006-07-27 06:12:00 | Lol, are those two error messages for real? Or did you just make them up as a joke? personthingy wasn't joking, that error message is real for sure. If your keyboard isn't plugged in when booting up you get "Keyboard not found, press F1 to continue" or "Keyboard not found, press any key to continue". :rolleyes: |

| 473646 | 2006-07-27 06:32:00 | So you plug your keyboard in and press F1. That always used to work. USB or wireless keyboards might not work reliably like that. | Graham L (2) | ||
