I have seen this several times. It has to do with your startup and recovery settings. Assuming you are running W2K you go to the advanced tab of system properties. Then click the Startup and Recovery button. In there you can set options related to "System Failure". If you set it to not write a dump file and to automatically reboot the BSOD will display for about half a second then the machine will reboot. If you have it set to automatically reboot and write a memory dump it will take a minute depending on how big the dump is. If you just uncheck the "Automatically Reboot" checkbox under system failure it should stay on the blue screen until someone reboots it. -Mike MacDonald _____ From: Jensen, Jay [mailto:jjensen@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Friday, July 09, 2004 1:54 PM To: Thin Client E-mail Group (THIN@xxxxxxxxxxxxx) Subject: [THIN] Rolling blue screen of death Has anyone else experience the rolling blue screen of death stop message? The screen rolls without being able to read the stop message. Everyone I have talked too has said they have never heard of this issue. How about all of you? Thank you in advance. Jay
