How many times have you seen users mentioning incorrect error code or message when asking for help in various support forums?
"I receive error 8OOAOO46" – Whereas it’s really 800A0046
"It throws out the error 8040005" – A digit missing. The exact error would have been 80040005
Posting incorrect error code/messages makes things even more difficult when troubleshooting. Every error code has a meaning.
Did you know that you can copy the error message text (using CTRL + C keyboard shortcut) to Clipboard in Windows (Windows 2000 onwards)? The Clipboard contents can then be Pasted in a text editor like Notepad (Shortcut: CTRL + V).
