Look up any Windows or Mac error code with Error Goblin

Error Goblin is a free and portable Windows application so that you can check up on error codes when your net is down.

UPDATE: The publishers have decided to remove this Windows app. This appears to have happened within a couple of hours, of publishing this post. A message now appears saying:

“We have decided to remove our Windows app in favour of our iPhone app, we will be updating the Windows app in the future and will update this page when it is ready.”

Too bad. Hence the home page links are being removed and comments closed. But you can download it from Softpedia. Also check out these Windows Error Code Lookup Tools. This post on Windows Errors, System Error Messages and Codes may also interest you.

While one can always visit the website online to check up the error code details, this app now lets you do so online too!

If you need additional information on the error code, click on the More information button and a webpage will open up giving you additional information bout the same and a solution if it is available.

  3. Hi,

    We are the developers of Error Goblin and I thought I would post here just to say that the windows app will be coming back, just got to find a few spare minutes to update it to go along with the new version of the site.

  4. Not much good if you don’t have an IPhone…

    they removed the windows download application and if you don’t have an IPhone (which despite what Apple wants everyone to think, most people DON’T).. and you don’t happen to have web access to their page, you’re totally OUT OF LUCK!!!

    So, Basically USELESS!!
