[RESOLVED] Some funny error messgage
Take a look at attached image, I have seen it couple of times not sure if this is thrown by dev-archive pages.

This image mimics something similar to BSOD or GPF message of Amiga computers. I have seen that message in browser a few times too, and I think that it is some Flash ad.
About funny messages: lots of them can be found at DailyWTF site. Some of them almost made me wet my pants laughing.
About arror messages: I did not succeed to get 'System halted' BSOD on XP, but I did it on 8086(no bsod, just error message of course :) ) and Win98. I also did not manage to get 'Internal compiler error' on any compiler I was using :(

I've never see any error like that coming from any of our forums or sites. I'd guess it is coming from an ad as well (or something else you have running). Let's see if anyone else chimes in about getting the same error.

One of the funniest "errors" I've gotten was actually just a message. I got a pop-up message in IE telling me that pop-ups had been turned off so the pop-up message wasn't being displayed. Nothing like a pop-up to tell you a pop-up was blocked! Doh! (This has since been changed)

I dont know which application or browser diplayed it, that messge is not a window, what is it ? is that some tweaked frame ? How can I find parent of that message ?

Unix has got lotsa funny messages, one with sleep command, "sleep with me" shows unix humour saying "bad character". :D

Can you duplicate the error? It is an unusal error to begin with. It is blury, so hard to read, but not many real errors are as specific as to say, press left mouse button -- especially when they are using an ASCII based character display. It looks very fishy to me.
I'd like to see someone duplicate this.

I cant reproduce it but I have seen this few times and all the times I remember I was doing something on dev-archive. :)

Guys, I really believe that it is not CG error or anything like that, its some Flash AD or the way browser informs about script failure. Black background and red frame with 'Press left mouse button to continue' is Amiga BSOD, so often happening to me when playing WORMS :D (See also: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guru_Meditation)
Krishnaa, maybe Spy++ would say what is the parent of this window?
Edit:
Guru Meditation errors are also adopted in Nullsoft Winamp's script engine "MAKI" (Winamp3 and Winamp5 freeform skin engine) when something goes wrong.

Edit:
