Most of you I'm sure have encountered those annoying Windows error messages. To work out the problem, you need to keep the error message/code so that either yourself or a PC technician can debug the error. This usually means having to manually type the error message or using the print screen function. The first method certainly works but can a be little time consuming if it's a long error message. The second method doesn't provide you with raw text, which is inconvenient when you want to send the error message to a friend via MSN or would like to check it out on Google. The method I'm going to show you can be completed in a few seconds.
- On the error message window, press Ctrl+C (copy). This will copy the contents to the clipboard.
- Paste the error message where ever you like (eg. Notepad, Google) using Ctrl+V. Done
Just to give you an example here is a error dialogue:
Output:
—————————
Error Renaming File or Folder
—————————
Cannot rename Copy of logo: A file with the name you specified already exists. Specify a different file name.
—————————
OK
—————————
This should help you resolve those annoying messages in no time
