Hey guys,
Need to tell you guys something. A friend of mine has a Duron 800 with ATI Pro Rage and 25 gigs of hardrive. Even though that is not important, or maybe it has something to do with it. But anyways, you all know about the infamous BLUE SCREEN right?!?! The sreen that makes us go holy **^*&%^^$%$^^$%$^&^!!!s-)
Well, I don't know if this has happened to anyone yet. But my friend got a BLACK SCREEN X-) that says the same thing as the BLUE one. He took a picture of it, but I don't know if he has it on the internet yet.
Well, right now I am just wondering why the heck did it turn black?!?!?

What do you think guys/gals?

You can quite easily change the backgraound of the BSD's by changing a setting in the registry. A friend of main changed his to orange - just to make it even scarier. I'm not totally sure how he did it, but he messes around with the registry far to much, but he's paid for it in the past - I've lost count of the number of reinstalls of Windows he's done. He changed my "Microsoft Iternet Eplorer provided by ic24" to "...provided by Ben!" when I wasn't looking. That was the last time I left him alone with my computer...

So if you want a Black Screen of Death, then there's plenty of sites about registry editing, and you'll probably find it there.

happy regedit! :)

Well, the wierd thing about this is that he did not do any editing or anything. He just . . . GOT IT. The next time he had it, it was a blue screen???? No idea why that happened still.
