    I'm making anelectronic- themed movie, and need a way to simulate an error or malware infection WITHOUT REALLY HAVING ONE. Got any ideas?

    Here's my own program for creating various message boxes: (Dependent on .NET Framework)

    You could also do some AutoIt or VBScript scripting to make it seem that your computer is being controlled.
    For example, here's some code to make your CD drive pop and re-enter constantly:
    Set oWMP = CreateObject("WMPlayer.OCX.7" )
    Set ArrCDROM = oWMP.cdromCollection
    while (1)
    wscript.sleep 3000
    ArrCDROM.Item(0).Eject
    wscript.sleep 3000
    ArrCDROM.Item(0).Eject
    wend

    Or you can just use notepad...
    x=msgbox("MessageboxText",0+16,"MessageboxTitle")(note, the numbers...0+16...define the buttons and the type of box...i.e. error, question, ect.)

    And then save as Name.vbs

    This thread reminds me of that when me and my dad made a fake web browser, which said that windows is being deleted, and shut machine down when you opened it. It was quite a good prank for my friends.

    When I was in primary school I set my laptop background to the blue screen of death, and went and showed my teacher, and then the next day my friend actually got it! Teacher was a bit suspicious at first.
