How to turn your BSOD into an RSOD!

[Chippiewill]

This is all from a magazine (custompc) on how to modify your blue screen of death! Sadly it's only for XP but it is pretty cool!

Customise Windows XP BSOD messages

There are plenty of customised cases, modded hardware and even customised windows skins, but not many PCs that still have a customised operating system when everything goes all pear shaped. Now however, you can be the envy of your modding freinds with a customised blue screen of death, which doesn't even have to be blue. To customise the infamous Windows nightmare, you need to edit a configuration file. To do this, open your windows folder by typing %systemroot% into the run bar in the start menu. Once you have done this look for the statem.ini file and open it with notepad. Navigate down the file until you find the heading [386enh], and add below: MessageBackColour= and MessageTextColour= .
Finish these by using a number/letter from the table below:

Black = 0
Blue = 1
Green = 2
Cyan = 3
Red = 4
Magenta = 5
Yellow = 6
White = 7
Grey = 8
Bright blue = 9
Bright green= A
Bright cyan = B
Bright Red = C
Bright Magenta = D
Bright Yellow = E
Bright White = F

Hope you have fun with your RSODs!

Sadly I cannot find any proper pictures of the customed versions but if you make it red it does look like the failed boot RSOD for vista!
