 1. Open Notepad   (Click on 'Start' then search 'Notepad' and open it).

 2. Copy and Paste one of the code from below into it.

➤ Error message Code

X=msgbox("Error message",16+0,"title of error")

➥ Replace the texts denoted in red in the above code with the text you want to display.

Error message - 'Message you want to display'
title of error - 'Title for the error'

➤ To display the Error message couple of times, then paste the code, number of times you want, i.e. if you want 5 times the error message to display after opening it, then paste the code 5 times in multiple lines, into the Notepad.

Below code is example for 5 times -

X=msgbox("Error message",16+0,"title of error")
X=msgbox("Error message",16+0,"title of error")
X=msgbox("Error message",16+0,"title of error")
X=msgbox("Error message",16+0,"title of error")
X=msgbox("Error message",16+0,"title of error")

➤ If you want the Error message to display again and again then use the below code -

do
x=msgbox("Error message",16+0,"title of error")
loop

➥ If you use the above code then the Error message cannot be stopped by normally closing it, it will be continuously displaying. But you can stop it with Task Manager.
