Keep in mind that WinXP - by default - hides the BSOD from you, unless you change a setting to show the blue screen.
I did not know that! When there is a BSOD but it is hidden, what happens to the computer, or what does the screen look like? What does the user experience, a frozen system? Where is the setting to unhide the BSOD?

It reboots.. Right Click My Computer --> Properties --> Error reporting or something.. Also, you can change the BSOD to a different color.. Mine is a GSOD notepad.exe %systemroot%\system.ini Find the [386enh] section and add or change the following lines: MessageBackColor=# MessageTextColor=# #'s are: 0 = black 1 = blue 2 = green 3 = cyan 4 = red 5 = magenta 6 = yellow/brown 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 Be sure to use CAPITALS if you use A - F Save and reboot.. :) Ben Kevan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
