blue screen of death

[cshakenbake]

anyone got a screenshot of other picture of a blue screen? (looking to do a big joke on people at school with startup screens and desktops) if this is against any rules, sorry, i didn't know. i also know that it is hard to get a shot when the comp is frozen.

[Kane]

Hard? Try impossible :p
Why don't you try recreating it using a DOS window?

[Ninjaa]

If you look around, you can find shots of BSODs, or even screensavers for Windows 2k.

But what OS are your computers at school running? Every OS has a different Blue Screen. (I have yet to see one in Windows XP)

[raekwon thachef]

the blue screen in xp is still blue it just doesnt look like dos
i seen it only when i put in my new mobo and tryed to boot windows :DUH:
there is a way you can male xp manually crash with xtec setup and pressing a combo of keys and it will say manually initiated crash error 122322 and so on

[cshakenbake]

running 95- i have already made some cool startup screens for it, will post when im back at school.

It looks just like any NT/2000 BSOD. :p I got quite a few while testing drivers for my V3.

Heh, that would be a funny prank. :D

[Snake785]

[Snake785]

LOL :D
That's hilarious!! It reminds me of the demonstration of Windows 98 on CNN when it crashed :)
I wonder if I still have that movie laying around somewhere.

[Snake785]

It this the vid you are looking for?

[Snake785]

ok, I found one for Win95.Have with your prank. :D

[Omega]

:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol: someone should set this image to 1024x768 resolution :)

[Strider]

id laugh if he put it at someone's background and the guy kept pressing alt ctrl del when his pc started

[Omega]

Heh i was going to put as my wallpaper, but i guess i won't be pressing Ctrl+alt+del at the startup :D :D

[Strider]

anyone else who uses ur pc would also start yelling that you screwed up the pc

[Eface]

talking about bsod.....
if u use win98

use the commandline (start>run)
enter the command "/con/con"
i'm gonna test this..,.... tested on VTB's computer, it still works as fine as ever.......

[Kurbster]

For some reason, my BSOD is actually red. I think I used some windows customizer program to change it

[Esturk]

This is the Amiga's BSOD. (it's not really blue);)

[Samor]

the atari ST one is da bomb ;). Anyone have a pic of that?

[Kurbster]

nah, I changed it using X-Temp i think

[ShADoWFLaRe85]

Ahhh...the good ol' stable days of DOS :p

Yeah, the OS is so stable and never crash to BSOD :D

[ShADoWFLaRe85]

BSOD didn't even exist back then ;)

[G-Pitts]

Just plain black screen :D

[Kurbster]

So hard to get around. You still need to know DOS if you have to use your startup disk

[Kane]

Dos is easy. Getting windows to run without crashing. Now taht's hard :lol:

[Kurbster]

Now your asking something that Microsoft can't do!! :D :D

[Omega]

About the blue screen, check it my wallpaper :)

[cshakenbake]

yes, dos is really easy to use. here is my fav startup pic i made. for win 95 and 98 just open c:\logo.sys in paint and paste this on it (the palatte is wierd and so is the resolution so you have to start with that one).

[cshakenbake]

here's #2

[cshakenbake]

and #3. i really love photoshop:)

[Omega]

Guess microsoft has something related with the blue color and those clouds :eek:

[ToM_E]

How do you make the startup logo for windows me?

[G-Pitts]

Same as Win 95/98 I guess... Just put the logo.sys file in c:\

[Omega]

Isn't in the Win\ folder? :p

[cshakenbake]

no, i have ME on my shared computer and it is in the root dir, but it is hidden and even doing show all things won't let you see it. to change it you have to open c:\logo.sys in paint then it is there. to make sure, just open it and if it doesn't find it, well, its not there;) so yea, G-Pitts, it is there.

[Omega]

in ME+ vrs is in the main hd folder, but past vrs 95/98 is in the win folder, like the logow, and logos files :)

[Kurbster]

do you mind if I use these images?

[ShADoWFLaRe85]

I like XP's startup. Plain and simple. :)

[Omega]

What the XP startup looks like? i've never saw it :D

[ShADoWFLaRe85]

It just has the Windows XP logo in the middle of the screen and then a small bar animation underneath it all on a black background. :)

[Omega]

Hmm interesting ;), maybe you should post the image here :D
you know how to do that dontcha?

[ShADoWFLaRe85]

A startup screen? nope...

[Omega]

You know the logo.sys? if you know, 1st thing you do is copy the file. than with the copied you change it extension to .jpg or .bmp than it became a image :D

[ShADoWFLaRe85]

This is XP, not 98. I don't think that'll work. ;)

[Hydra]

Since I'm such a nice guy I took the blue screen picture and got rid of most of the distorsion. Just to make it more belivable.:D

[Omega]

Hey gotrunks i already posted that image

[Hydra]

I got rid of the distortion.

[Omega]

Hmm it doesn't changed in my opinion, but thanks :D

[Esturk]

If you wanna get rid of the distortion completely make it a BMP or a PNG.

[Hydra]

Well changing to BMP will not get rid of the distortion that has already been created during the Re-size.

[Omega]

Yeah that;s true,1st you have to save it in .bmp than save another one to .jpg

[ShADoWFLaRe85]

Wouldn't it almost be easier to recreate the image by manually typing the text onto a blue background at a bigger size with an identical font?

[Omega]

Which font that image uses?

[Strider]

i would guess it uses the system font

[ShADoWFLaRe85]

It probably does use the system font.

[Omega]

If anyone had a free time, just make a try, the text is:
Windows

A fatal exception 0E has occurred at 0028:C0011E36 in VXD VMM(01) +
00010E36. The current application will be terminated.

* Press any key to terminate the current application
* Press CTRL+ALT+DEL again to restart your computer. You will
lose any unsavred information in all applications.

Press any key to continue _

[ShADoWFLaRe85]

Don't forget to give the "Windows" text that background. ;)

Maybe I'll give it a try l8r.

[Omega]

Yeah the background of 'Windows' is grey :)

[cshakenbake]

win xp startup screen is a wierd .exe file that has the animation in it. anyone that doesn't have xp can't see it, IIRC

oh, yea, for slimshady or anyone else, sure you can use them. i just made them on my spare time in photoshop 5.5 at school ;)

one more thing, if you want to use these, you have to first convert to .bmp with the same color palatte as the origional (if there is any intrest i can post it here) then rename it to logo.sys.

Yeah...I just figured it out. It's located in your %windowsroot%\system32 folder. It's called ntoskrnl.exe You can change it by going into safe mode and replacing the file. IE - here's a screenshot of one I used:

[Kane]

I huse BootXP (www.bootxp.net) to change it. It's nagware, but it works :)
This is the one I use

[ShADoWFLaRe85]

It looks like that thing allows you to even preview the ani. How does BootXP work? Still have to revert into safe mode?

[Kane]

No, it modifies the boot.ini I think. It seems to dissapear after a while tho.

[ShADoWFLaRe85]

Oh. I prefer my method then :p

[G-Pitts]

I also prefer the old method (boot to safe mode). I got my bootscreen <a href="http://www.themexp.org/view.php?type=boot" target="_blank">here</a>
