Introduction
One from the most feared colors from the NT entire world is blue. The notorious Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) will pop up on an NT system anytime some thing has gone terribly mistaken. Bluescreen is really a screen saver that not merely authentically mimics a BSOD, but will simulate startup screens observed during a program boot.
On NT 4.0 installations it simulates chkdsk of disk drives with problems,
Office 2010 Code!On Win2K and Windows 9x it presents the Win2K startup splash screen, full with rotating progress band and progress control updates!On Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 it presents the XP/Server 2003 startup splash display screen with progress bar!
Bluescreen cycles between various Blue Screens and simulated boots each fifteen seconds or so. Just about each of the details shown on Bluescreen's BSOD and program begin display is obtained out of your system configuration - its accuracy will fool even superior NT developers. For instance, the NT create quantity, processor revision, loaded drivers and addresses, disk drive traits, and memory dimension are all taken in the technique Bluescreen is operating on.
