    Talking enabling the blue screen of death in winxp?

    sounds like a stupid question, but like when there is a system error and windows has to reboot, it shows a blue screen describing the error and such... I disabled that a while ago and it just reboots without showing that error page. How do I enable it again?

    Right click my computer, properties, advanced, startup and recovery, uncheck the 'automatically restart' checkbox.

    I would want the BSOD. As opposed to the computer just rebooting.

    Because then I wouldn't know if it was rebooting due to an error, or if I have overheating, a bad power supply...who knows?

    And sometimes, you can escape a reboot when you get a BSOD and save your work.

    If it just restarts itself, you can't.
    My evil laugh has a squeak in it.
