Errors, Windows Protection

0 Conversations

The work of Satan. Never quite understood the point of this particular legend. When something pear-shaped happens to the computer and no-one really knows what, up pops a black screen with "Windows Protection Error. Please Reboot". Quite what the point in rebooting is, no-one really knows because it results only in a dramatic pause, a hard-drive whirr, another pause, and... OH JOY! A Windows Protection Error - what a dissappointment. The creators of such messages should be brave and re-program this to say something honest like "Windows has died. You are screwed. Please go away." and perhaps there would be less stress in the workplace.
