this happened some time ago to a colleague of mine at work, I just had to take a picture of it and share it with all of you

Keyboard error
This is on a laptop running XP severe pitch 2 so it's not like it's an error on an old machine.

what kind of laptop is it? a fujitsu one? it must be a hardware error, i can't believe that microsoft windows doesn't support somebody's hardware!

What I find hard to believe is that they actually still tell you to hit F1 or F2 when you get a keyboard error

It was already like that back in the early wonblows days and was already a source of laughter back then, you would thinkt they would have that fixed by now, wouldn't you?

I just googled that error for grins - looks like that is usually a misleading error. It says "keyboard", but what it really means is "mainboard in the keyboard area". Possibly a very difficult/expensive problem to solve.

Then again, sometimes it is just a bad keyboard.

Like always with good ol' winblows it was nothing a reboot couldn't fix
