lukeiamyourdad Posted November 19, 2003 Share Posted November 19, 2003 Sorry, this never came up to anyone I know. Perhaps it's a problem with your CD player. You can try and download the patch and see if that solves things up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saberhagen Posted November 19, 2003 Share Posted November 19, 2003 That's a very bizarre error message (even by MS standards). Have you checked for viruses? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sivy Posted November 19, 2003 Share Posted November 19, 2003 guru meditation: n. Amiga equivalent of panic in Unix (sometimes just called a guru or guru event). When the system crashes, a cryptic message of the form “GURU MEDITATION #XXXXXXXX.YYYYYYYY” may appear, indicating what the problem was. An Amiga guru can figure things out from the numbers. Sometimes a guru event must be followed by a Vulcan nerve pinch. This term is (no surprise) an in-joke from the earliest days of the Amiga. An earlier product of the Amiga corporation was a device called a ‘Joyboard’ which was basically a plastic board built onto a joystick-like device; it was sold with a skiing game cartridge for the Atari game machine. It is said that whenever the prototype OS crashed, the system programmer responsible would calm down by concentrating on a solution while sitting cross-legged on a Joyboard trying to keep the board in balance. This position resembled that of a meditating guru. Sadly, the joke was removed fairly early on (but there's a well-known patch to restore it in more recent versions). hope that helps heres the link http://www.faqs.org/docs/jargon/G/guru-meditation.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
