Introduction

One of the most feared colors in the NT world is blue. The infamous BlueScreen of Death (BSOD) will pop up on an NT system whenever somethinghas gone terribly wrong. Bluescreen is a screen saver that not onlyauthentically mimics a BSOD, but will simulate startup screens seenduring a system boot.

  • On NT 4.0 installations it simulates chkdsk of disk drives witherrors!
  • On Windows 2000, Windows 95, and Windows 98 it presents the Windows2000 startup splash screen, complete with rotating progress band andprogress control updates!
  • On Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 it presents the XP/Server 2003startup splash screen with progress bar!

Bluescreen cycles between different Blue Screens and simulated bootsevery 15 seconds or so. Virtually all the information shown onBluescreen's BSOD and system start screen is obtained from your systemconfiguration - its accuracy will fool even advanced NT developers. Forexample, the NT build number, processor revision, loaded drivers andaddresses, disk drive characteristics, and memory size are all takenfrom the system Bluescreen is running on.

Use Bluescreen to amaze your friends and scare your enemies!
