Introduction
One in the most feared colours within the NT globe is blue. The notorious Blue Display screen of Death (BSOD) will pop up on an NT system whenever one thing has gone terribly mistaken. Bluescreen is really a display screen saver that not only authentically mimics a BSOD, but will simulate startup screens observed throughout a technique boot.
On NT 4.0 installations it simulates chkdsk of disk drives with errors,
Office 2010 Pro!On Win2K and Windows 9x it presents the Win2K startup splash display screen, complete with rotating progress band and progress manage updates!On Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 it presents the XP/Server 2003 startup splash screen with progress bar,
Office 2007 Standard!
Bluescreen cycles amongst various Blue Screens and simulated boots every fifteen seconds or so. Just about each of the details shown on Bluescreen's BSOD and system start off display screen is obtained from your system configuration - its accuracy will fool even sophisticated NT developers. For example, the NT develop range, processor revision, loaded drivers and addresses,
Office Professional 2010, disk generate attributes, and memory dimension are all taken from the technique Bluescreen is managing on.
Use Bluescreen to amaze your friends and scare your enemies!
