MemberThis is an error I used to get often when copying a lot of files over the network in Windows 98. Yes, that’s right. Windows can not copy the file, because it exists! Maybe it can only copy files that don’t exist?
Either way, I thought it was only a bug in Windows 98. Until I just backed up a network drive to a Windows 2000 machine and I got the error again! Stupidly enough, I forgot to take a screenshot.
After a bit of Google’ing I found out that it wouldn’t have been necessary at all to take a screenshot. It seems I’m not the only one who sees his computer display the most funny error messages.
