Least Helpful Error Message (ever?)

Here's a screenshot one of my coworkers shared with me.

Fortunately, I wasn't drinking anything or I would have sprayed all over my monitor, I was laughing so hard!

I sometimes wonder if they're trying to convey any information at all !?!?!?!

Have you seen this one before?

I've got it a couple of times.  Wins the prize for most informative error?

I often see it when closing Civil 3D. Autodesk has said that it occurs after the program is actually closed so they don't have any control over it. It's innocuous.

Yep, that has to be THE least informative one I've seen.

At least they didn't waste a bunch of words to convey basically no information, like in my example Smiley Happy

This is a helpful error message from Revit.

BTW - it has nothing to do with units or measurements.

Here's one I get everytime I start Revit.

EDIT:  I can click the red X to close it but it won't let me resize it to actually see what it says.  🙂

Most likely it's a conflict with your Graphics Card window manager.

 

If you are using an nvidia card, turn off nView desktop management.
If using an ATI card, turn off Hydravision.

I just had to come back to this.

Last time I posted I had to go do an image search online for the one I wanted (although I had seen it before).  But in the last few days I'm getting this every time I quit the program.

Oh, I know this isn't an error message, but, I just posted it over on AUGI because someone brought up R13, so I thought you guys might get a kick out of it, too.

Too funny!  I was lucky, I went straight for R12 to R14 because my employer at the time didn't want to upgrade every year and settled on the even numbered releases. Smiley Very Happy

I actually used R13 for a little while, my senior year of high school. But, my first production release was 2000, so I completely missed R14.

 

Although, up until 4 years ago, we had an old DOS machine with R12 still on it. It was pretty wild. My boss was like, uh, do you know how to get files and stuff off of a machine that old? Luckily I'd spend enough time on R10 and 12 in high school that I could... after some serious thinking. Heh.

Hey, where's that Kudos button?!

 

I had more of those, like

"Problem Exists Between Keyboard and Chair"

"User Error—Replace User"

 

Thought I had them here, but can't find them.

 

 

Regarding the blank '!' error, my IT guy says it's related to the video card.  Not sure why it started going off every time I close C3D since last week.  Maybe the program updated its requirements online somehow?

Cute.

 

During one of my programming classes, I made this Map Cleanup dialog box for giggles.

LOL....I used to see this a lot on SolidWorks....this and a tiny red box. I had a complete folder full of these types of errors and used them as my screen saver.
