Webopedia has a nice explanation... blue screen of death http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/B/blue_screen_of_death.html "An error that can appear on computers running in a Windows' environment. This includes even the earliest versions of Windows such as Windows 3.0 and 3.1, and still occurs in later versions such as Microsoft Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT, and Windows 2000 beta. Jokingly called the blue screen of death because when the error occurs, the screen turns blue, and the computer almost always freezes and requires rebooting." A small point, BSOD is an abbreviation, not an acronym. Acronyms are spoken like words (NASA, radar, etc.) , abbreviations are spelled out, letter-by-letter. -- Gerry Boyd ============= PCWorks Mailing List ================= Don't see your post?
