One of the most
feared colors in the NT world is blue. The infamous Blue
Screen of Death (BSOD) will pop up on an NT system whenever
something has gone terribly wrong. Bluescreen is a
screen saver that not only authentically mimics a BSOD, but
will simulate startup screens seen during a system boot.
- On NT 4.0 installations it simulates chkdsk of
disk drives with errors!
- On Win2K and Windows 9x it presents the Win2K startup
splash screen, complete with rotating progress band and
progress control updates!
- On Windows XP it present the XP startup splash screen
with progress bar!
Bluescreen cycles between
different Blue Screens and simulated boots every 15 seconds
or so. Virtually all the information shown on
Bluescreen's BSOD and system start screen is obtained
from your system configuration - its accuracy will fool even
advanced NT developers. For example, the NT build number,
processor revision, loaded drivers and addresses, disk drive
characteristics, and memory size are all taken from the
system Bluescreen is running on.
Use Bluescreen to amaze your friends and scare your
enemies!
Bluescreen runs on Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000,
Windows XP and Windows 9x (it requires DirectX). |
