One of the more irritating things about all versions of Windows (ya ya I know it’s hard to keep track of them all blah blah) is its use of insanely cryptic error codes when something goes wrong. After all just what is 0×80070570 suppose3 to mean?
Yes you could take the time to try and find the answer using Google or Bing but then you have to sort through some equally cryptic pages to find an answer you can understand.
However, if you just happen to have a little handy app from FavesSoft called (very boring Microsoft like naming) Windows Error Code Lookup you would know that the error actually is: “The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable.”
So much better right?
So what are you still doing here – go and grab a copy for yourself (halfway down the page) and be ready for the next inevitable error message that shows up.
