BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH NO MORE!!!!!

[codybear]

For years now, the Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) has been haunting our PCs. Would you rather see the Magenta Screen of Death? What about Cyan? That's doable. Open up SYSTEM.INI and fly to the [386enh] section. Add two new values: 'MessageBackColor=' and 'MessageTextColor=' (without the quotes, but with the equal symbol). You'll need to use ONE hexadecimal "number" for each color; they are as follows: 0 (black), 1 (blue), 2 (green), 3 (cyan), 4 (red), 5 (magenta), 6 (yellow), 7 (white), 8 (gray), 9 (bright blue), A (bright green), B (bright cyan), C (bright red), D (bright magenta), E (bright yellow), F (bright white). I hope you never see another screen of death again.

This was stolen directly from Lockergnome's Tip of the Day. :P

Comtech, do you think it really matters where codybear got the info? I don't see anywhere in his post that he tried to pass the information off as his own discovery. Personaly I appreciate him passing on the info regardless of where it came from.

good one killerbug! as soon as i learn how to use it @ school, im gonna switch over to it at home and start phasing out all the MS **** that never works right....

[codybear]

yes comtech it was and with all or most information it was found somewhere and passed around...I did not say hey look what I discovered..It was "exactly" as I recieved it in my mailbox. If you have reason to believe this to be wrong then I apologise to you and invite you to no longer read my posts because if I find something or am sent something I think will benifit the people that frequent this board or any board then I will post it.

I think the word stolen is a bit harsh as many people post things from other places and do not 'steal' them as much as 'share' them

Ok, share is a better word.
