Not sure where to post this so please move if necessary.

The wording on some of these Windows error messages really creases me up. Get a load of this. Who in the world dreams up this stuff? :D

This popped up a few minutes ago when I was trying to download a video from a link in the Real Aviation forum.

Ah, but mine's a genuine error message. Honest.

I don't think I've ever heard anyone talk like that, not recently anyway. ;)
