Hi, The one I always liked was the message about such-and-such performing an illegal operation and being shut down. I once had a customer who called me frantically because she believed that when that happened on her computer, the cops or FBI would come knocking at her door. She had a screw or two loose and was maybe just a tad bit paranoid. It would have been much simpler if Windows had simply said something about a memory sharing problem.
