About Error 21
« on: December 28, 2004, 12:39:00 PM »

It seems that every day, someone in this forum has starts a new thread stating that they did something and now they get error 21.  This is just a suggestion, but wouldn't it be much simpler if error 21 was a pinned topic that people could go to and look for answers there?(since they obviously aren't using the search function)  That way we don't have to see a new topic started saying "error 21, help!"  Just putting in my 2 cents.

I'm sure if you wrote a really explainatory tutorial on the causes & fixes of all the Error 21's, then maybe it would get pinned.

I'm just saying if their was a pinned topic that said "error 21, post here" then that would free up a lot of the clutter I see in this forum.  I mean, just a few minutes after I posted this, there was another post by someone saying "I have error 21 because of blah blah blah."  If there was an official thread for it, pinned perhaps, then these people won't have to post their bull shit saying they have "tried everything except what has been posted to actually work and I'm at my wits end."  Again, it's just a suggestion.  Besides, I'm not good at writing tutorials.  I'd just leaves something extremely important out and cause more bad than I did good.  There would be posts from people, saying "I followed BulkySam's tutorial, but I still get error 21."  Perhaps someone else can tackle this?

The idea is nice but there are lots of factors around that can cause an error 21. It isn't a like one thing fixes all situation. But I agree lots of the error 21 questions are repeated very much

I write a nice little tutorial on how to fix errors 13 and up though exploits. How about that?
