It’s a Known fact that majority of the computer users in the world are using Microsoft’s Windows as their preferred Operating system. Since the day i had my first look at the computers, i’m using Windows till now and going through the same problems of virus/adware attacks, unexpected system hangs, boot-up problems and loss of data like everyone else out there.

Even few times i tried switching the OS to Linux and had a second thought of buying a Macbook instead of my Toshiba satellite which i’m currently using now. But application compatibility is forcing me to stick to Windows. As some of the applications can be only installed and run on Windows. For people who use PCs and internet just to check emails for 10minutes or to chat for 1hour may not feel a big difference or any draw backs. But Bloggers and Internet Savvys who spend most of the time infront of the computers might have gone through the same problems that i experienced before. Sometimes it really get me on the nerves and the level of frustration can’t be explained in words or letters.

10. Microsoft forcing users to use Internet Explorer

Everyone know that the default Internet Explorer or IE sucks! (If not everyone, atleast most of us of know that ). I can’t exactly remember when i shifted to that Fox in the fire browser. But since the first time i tried that, i got a long lasting love for Firefox and thats my favourite browser till now.

When we set Firefox as the default browser, If you click on any link in a software (say ‘Register Product’ or ‘Support’), the website should always open using the default browser. When all the softwares and applications work that way, why should microsoft developed products force the user to open the pages using Internet Explorer?!

One good example for this scenario : Sign into your MSN messenger, you see mail notification from your hotmail account, try to open the email by directly clicking on the MSN tab (this will reduce the pain of going through the process of entering username and password) what you will see is the IE popping out like a slow turtle.

9. MediaPlayer cannot play the file Error

Most of us at one point or other experice this problem. You remember the time you insterted your favourite movie CD/DVD into the drive eagerly waited to see this message window?!

I don’t really get this problem or message these days as i stopped using the default Mediaplayer long time back and my favourite one right now is VLC Player which is light weight and literally can play any media file.

8. Cannot delete - used by another program Error

This is another annoying message you’ll see when you try to virus infected file or file thats a Virus by itself. Those days people use to restart the computer to delete the file or just leave it if they don’t the current work to be interrupted. Unlocker is the best program available at the moment to overcome this problem.

7. Internet Explorer Script Error

This is not really an annoying message when compared to others. But pressing ‘Yes’ or ‘No’ doesn’t make a big impact.

6. Found New Hardware Wizard

This is really very annoying one in the list. None of us want to install the driver for every USB device we connect to the system - Camera, Printer, Webcam, etc. I prefer Linux which comes with in-built driver for more than 100+ webcams.

5. Virtual memory minimum too Low

This is not really that annoying but by the time this balloon appears, your system will be dead slow and opening an existing window on the taskbar will even take upto 1minute after the click. you can increase your windows virtual memory by reading these steps.

4. Report to Microsoft Error

We have come to the top 5 most annoying stuffs with windows. This don’t really cause much data loss but at times it does. I still remember my firefox hanged with 10tabs open and photoshop closed after designing for almost 30minutes.

3. Disk Check Error

If you see this screen, it’s a open warning from Windows that you may get screwed anytime. Backup all important your files, Run Disk Defragmenter or System Restore. But all i can say is if you got any educational or work related data, take care of yourself and your PC.

2. DrWatson Postmortem Error

I don’t know much about this error. But once i encountered this. when i started the windows, this window show up and after that everything hanged. Cursor can move but i couldn’t press the start button or open my computer. Everything is literally frozen. There was only one option left out : Format and install Windows again.

1. The Famous Blue screen Error

If your system shows blue screen error once in a while or often, that means you’re screwed. If you’re experiencing th Blue screen error for a long time, its better to format and install windows again. If you see the error after installing a particular program, you can remove that program or use System Restore to roll back to the previous setting.

No one really like to see Blue screen errors. But with a Bue screen error like this in picture, Guys will like to see more Blue screen errors i guess.
