The repost police on this board are truly annoying.

This problem was caused by Windows. This program was created by Microsoft Corporation. Microsoft Corporation does not currently have a solution for the problem that you reported.

The most common, if not the only message you will see when linking to Microsoft's "solution pages" after using the error reportingfeature

Example: When my PC couldn't play music due to a "missing audio device error" I linked to this message screen.
So I went looking on message boards for similar issue and found one. The person posted about how Microsoft had nothing.
That forum entry was posted two YEARS before.
Me: Oh cool! I can just link to Microsoft's solution page! How convenient....

This problem was caused by Windows. This program was created by Microsoft Corporation. Microsoft Corporation does not currently have a solution for the problem that you reported.

Me: You've got to be kidding. Oh Cool! Windows has a built-in help program....
Said in response to a post, comment or action that is against the rules of whatever game or forum the conversation took place.
Most notably, the game World of Warcraft.
Sticking a period at the end adds finality, and is optional.

Usually, it's just a joke.
A: I hate niggers
B: reported.

C: Hey, you're not allowed to do that, stop it.
B: make me
C: reported.
