A Blue Screen of Death (also known as a stop error, BSOD or bluescreen) is an error screen displayed by certain operating systems, most notably Microsoft Windows, after encountering a critical system error which can cause the system to shut down to prevent damage. Bluescreens can be caused by poorly written device drivers, faulty memory, a corrupt Registry, or incompatible DLLs. Bluescreens have been present in all Windows-based operating systems since Windows 3.1; OS/2 and MS-DOS suffered the Black Screen of Death, and early builds of Windows Vista displayed the Red Screen of Death after a boot loader error.

The term "Blue Screen of Death" originated during OS/2 pre-release development activities at Lattice Inc, the makers of an early Windows and OS/2 C compiler. During porting of Lattice's other tools, developers encountered the stop screen when NULL pointers were dereferenced either in application code or when unexpectedly passed into system API calls. During reviews of progress and feedback to IBM Austin, the developers described the stop screen as the Blue Screen of Death to denote the screen and the finality of the experience.

ok I bought I new computer with Vista Home Premium runs good and I kinda like it....but for some reason I find myself missing Windows XP a lot...I liked the look of it a lot more...and it is not as resource consuming as vista...so is it worth it to buy XP and should I get OEM or full version and how much am I lookin at spending...I am really unsure of this...I get paid thursday so I could do it then it would break me a little but thats ok I still live at home (just got out of high school last year) and don't have any bills to pay except putting money on my gas card and paying Dell...any way, any answers would be great

I'm taking screenshots from an iTunes video for an upcoming avatar website. I need some sort of software that takes a multi shot like a camera, only for the screen. This would save me days of work, and is a major convenience if such a thing exists. Please help.

I edit an image that had "bits not to be seen". saved it over the original. windows thumbnail still shows the unedited version of the picture. even if it is send via email to another computer. Why is that so? If i put black boxes over something in the picture is that data original data still in the picture? 2 reasons. one don't want people seeing the original picture. also i saved over the original and do not have a copy how can i remove what i edited on that picture? played with gimp imagemagick on linux and still nothing. xp just shows the picture as if it was never edited. Vista shows it the same for a sec or 2 then shows the edits. it is a flat jpeg image. would be happy to supply part detail of a imagemagick 'identify -verbose foo.jpg' if it will help figure it out. GNU systems show the thumbnail just fine with totem's thumbnailer.

I read an item on an anti Hotmail site recently that Microsoft keeps hidden folders on our computers which log everything we do on our computers, if it is true, then would it be possible to find them and safely delete them without harming the o/s? Would the files be replaced by Microsoft at the next update for windows?

I have:

- Windows XP
- Office 2003 and i mainly use Microsoft Word 2003.

I want to make a guide example: "Internet"

Where you have a nice heading and a table content on its first page:

a. what is internet
b. origins of the internet
etc........

Now if you click on "a. what is internet" it should direct you straight to where you will have that information on a different page or down the page.

My question: Can somebody give me or list websites that can show how to do that with Microsoft Word 2003 or what programs do i need to do that?

if i try to copy and paste picture from the internet and when i go to photoshop cs3 it will not be highlighted so im unable to do that. I try to save the image and then open it up in photoshop but alot of pictures i cant..im guessing its because its not the right file as in a jpeg file or something. I dont know how to fix this or i need an update or something. And also it will not let me ctrl+alt+z to go back. It flickers and goes to my background for a second when i let go and doesnt undo it so i have to go to edit and undo each time. so if anyone has any suggestions or help ill be gratefull. :) thanks
