When using a computer sometimes things just don’t go as planned. Actually, that seems to happen more times than not and even in Vista RC2 I receive a Blue Screen of Death (BSoD) a few times a week. Sometimes there just isn’t a way around it.
A company that Microsoft acquired, called SysInternals, has made a BSoD screensaver that simulates your computer receiving a Blue Screen and restarting itself. It is actually too realistic for me to use because I downloaded the ZIP file that contained the SCR file and actually fooled myself. Instead of putting it with the rest of the screensavers I just doubled-clicked on it to see what it looked like. Of course the screensaver pulled itself up and I saw a Blue Screen similar to the one shown here. I tried moving my mouse and it just wouldn’t go away so I thought it was a problem with Vista and that Windows really crashed. Then I hit the Escape key and it was all back to normal. 
I think this would be a really funny prank to pull on a friend since it just involves switching out their screensaver. However, I wouldn’t use it for yourself because there will be a time where you forget you have a screensaver running and you’ll get a little angry…like I did. 
Thanks for the tip Dochar!
I prefer the [asktoby.com] myself.
Haha, at least they have a sense of humor!!
Great tip! I went to my friend’s house, and when he wasn’t looking, I installed it on his computer
. When he came back into the room, he screamed “AH! What did you do?!?!” I could barely keep from laughing 
. After about five cycles though, he restarted his computer 
.
Priceless!
