Blue Screen of Death Screensaver

[razorsedge]

Missing the Blue Screen on Windows 7? Don’t worry – there’s hope still! With the advent of Windows 7 Blue Screen of Death (BSODs) or Stop Errors are almost extinct and a great way to remind yourself of what a blue screen looks like or to fool your office workers and friends, run the Blue Screen screen saver from Sysinternals.

Attachment 36696

The screen saver simulates authentic looking blue screens that reflect the version of Windows on which you run it, generating all blue screen text using actual system information such as the list of loaded drivers. It also mimics an automatic reboot, complete with the Windows startup splash screen. Note that unlike other screen savers, where a mouse movement dismisses them, the Blue Screen screen saver requires a key press.

Using the following syntax for the Psexec tool from Sysinternals, you can even run the screen saver on another system:

psexec \\computername –i –d “c:\sysinternalsbluescreen.scr” –s

The command requires that you have administrative privilege on the remote system. (You can use the –u and –p Psexec switches to specify alternate credentials).

Now its time to do some serious pranks. Enjoy! smile Missing the Blue Screen on Windows 7? Don’t worry – there’s hope!
