lmao, why did I think that would actually solve anything? Microsoft really hasn’t gotten any better at “Help”-ing than they were 20 years ago. Why even waste people’s time by putting the unhelpful Help button there at all? (or an error code, for that matter 😤)

Oh and here’s another very Windows thing that hasn’t changed… you still can’t copy and paste the error from the dialog 😅

It got worse if anything. They don't even have Clippy now!

@m0xee I was always partial to F1 (cute little biped robot) myself, but there will always be an extra special place in my heart for Rocky the dog. He and I spent an inordinate amount of time making cards and flyers and things in Greetings Workshop.

Wow, I didn't even know that Windows file search assistant dog had an older brother 😲

@m0xee There’s still time to correct this glaring omission from your lived experience.

Disc 2 is the one you want—nay… the one you need. Disc 1 had a collection of puzzle games, the only one of which I really remember was Jewel Thief. The last two discs are complementary drink coasters (Encarta ‘98 😅)

@m0xee Update... it's pretty trash. Rocky the dog pretty much carries the whole disappointing experience. Worth it just for the excuse to get a Windows 98 SE VM up and running, though.
