Introduction
One in the most feared colours inside the NT entire world is blue. The notorious Blue Screen of Demise (BSOD) will pop up on an NT technique when one thing has gone terribly mistaken. Bluescreen can be a display screen saver that not just 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!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 display screen with progress bar,

Bluescreen cycles in between various Blue Screens and simulated boots each and every 15 seconds or so. Virtually all of the data demonstrated on Bluescreen's BSOD and program start off display is obtained from your method configuration - its accuracy will fool even advanced NT developers. As an example, the NT build number, processor revision, loaded drivers and addresses, disk drive characteristics,
Windows 7 Home Premium Key, and memory dimensions are all taken in the technique Bluescreen is working on.
Use Bluescreen to amaze your friends and scare your enemies!
Installation and Use
Note: just before you'll be able to operate Bluescreen on Windows 9x,
Windows 7 Starter Key, you should copy \winnt\system32\ntoskrnl.exe from a Windows 2000 program in your \Windows directory. Just duplicate Sysinternals BLUESCRN.SCR for your \system32 directory if on Windows NT/2K,
Office 2010 Activation, or \Windows\System directory if on Windows 9x. Right click on to the desktop to bring up the Screen settings dialog then choose the "Screen Saver" tab. Use the pull down listing to seek out "Sysinternals Bluescreen" and utilize it as your new display screen saver. Decide on the "Settings" button to permit ######## disk activity, which adds an added touch of realism!
