Rage against the machine

Actual conversation

DovBear: Yo, I'm getting an error message on my computer.

It Moron, conviniently located in Brunei (I can hear the Sultan's concubines shreiking in the background): Yes, what is it please.

DB:[I tell him]

IM: Oh this very dangerous.

DB: Well, good news, because I went to the Microsoft site, and guess what: They've encountered this before, and they have a fix. I'll email it to you, and call you back, kay?

IM: Yes please

[Time passes]

DB: Yo, so how about it? Can we take Microsoft's suggestion and fix my machine.

IT: No sir. Very sorry, but this very dangerous.

DB: WTF? It's a Microsoft prescribed solution to my specific error message. How can that be dangerous?

IT: You know what registry is, yes? This idea tell me to fiddle with registry. I no do that. Is very dangerous. Could lose all your data.
