Create your own Windows error messages!
 

Hehe, this is fun.
Ok, first of all you need WINDOWS XP.
Open notepad.
And type in this:
lol = msgbox("This is windows. You have got a very bad virus, and we cannot remove it. Your computer shall shut down after you close this, but if you send all your money to microsoft and praise bill gates as your god, we will save you.",16,"Error")

This is windows. You have got a very bad virus, and we cannot remove it. Your computer shall shut down after you close this, but if you send all your money to microsoft and praise bill gates as your god, we will save you., will appear when you save.
Save it as any name, but it has to end with .vbs.

Now, when you click open, this will appear!

If you want to create your own message, Just replace the text. :).
Simple as that, trick your friends! :D.
Oh, and another thing.
To do like 5 at a time, just copy and paste it below it.

Enjoy!
~^_^~

Haha! That's funny, really funny! I'm going to try this. And an execellent find. And how did you find it?

Well, after rooting through the WINDOWS file, i found something with vbs at the end, and my friend helped me. He managed to find the codes etc, and told me to post here. :)

I did everything you said. It didn't work.

Ok, listen carefully.
Open notepad.
Type in the following:
lol = msgbox("Test for Jordan",16,"Error")
Nothing else,
Copy that and paste into notepad.
THEN,
Save it as test.vbs

Then open it
Simple :0.

(X) Can't find script engine "VBScript"

Worked for me. Pretty funny.

its just a vb script, if you know basic you can do a lot more e.g

if ( msgbox( "Do you suck?", vbyesno ) = vbyes ) then
msgbox "you suck :("
else
msgbox "you don't suck"
end if

hilarious, my dad pooped himself :D.

Didn't work for me. I got an error message saying that my error message wasn't working.

'Mostly Harmless' all over again.

Haha it worked for me :D. I see many great possibilities ahead for this.

Wow. It worked. You either mustn't have been explaining it properly, or I was reading it wrongly. Pretty cool I guess.

:compmad::crying:It didn't work. It comes up with something about an unreadable character or something. I tried this 5 times and even now it doesn't work.

Did you save it as .vbs?

Might not work for some people because the scripting host is disabled, since a lot of real viruses use vbs scripts to run (since it is vb there is lot you can do with it, copy/delete files/edit registry etc)

What's that like? O.o

"The error we are trying to give you has experienced an error. Unable to process error."

"msgbox(" lol. you children and your ultra fancy knoweledge of basic.

I set one up under the 'startup' menu on mum and dad's computer saying something like "The computer is going to explode! RUN AWAY!" But I don't think they've rebooted yet.

prob somthing like "runtime error, ")" expected"

It's funny!!! But can I use other words to do an error?

Hmmm why don't you just try it?

edit: try this one ;)

for i = 0 i < 99999
msgbox "Can't touch this!", "Hammer time"
next i

I think someone should write a program to output vbs error programs.

HINTMONKEYS

I have done it: it's very great :D!!! But how can these "errors" be used in Windows?

vbs scripts ARE programs, you can use a vb compiler to create an exe out of em, which also means you can make your exe/vbs copy itself to the startup etc but most anti viruses will get upset and delete it (since thats what most vbs viruses would do)

I can do it also with Windows Vista. I can use different titles. It's great :D!!!

lol This is cool now what do do with such a messsage.

I use on Microsoft Visual Basic 6:

Msgbox "Windows died and forgot to die because it died..",vbcritical,"Death finds us all :("

Then it should come up ur text.

Else if you want it to flood it,
Make a timer
Set interval to 1 (in properties)
Go to the timer's code and type msgbox "Text here",vb(Type), "Title Here"
Run the program

It will keep saying your message, however its not the bomb virus, it wont pile up, it will just make another after you click okay.


And the microsoft dos emergency shutdown :)

Go to run:
Type Shutdown -s -t 9000 -c "(message here)
To get rid of it, type in run, Shutdown -a

To get it into a file:

Go to notepad
type Type Shutdown -s -t 9000 -c "(message here)
Save as shutdown.bat, or something else of your preference
And there!, your own trap!

or use the vb "shell" command

What does shell do? kill explorer.exe or something?
