  • Oh!NO more BSOD.

    Is this a Matrox hardware related topic?
    YES, if anything is, this is (judging from all blue-screen posts).

    All these BSOD:s can now be eliminated from the face of the earth!

    In your "system.ini" file, the [386Enh] section, add the following lines:

    MessageTextColor=X
    MessageBackColor=Y

    where X and Y are hexadecimal values from this list

    0 - Black
    1 - Blue
    2 - Green
    3 - Cyan
    4 - Red
    5 - Magenta
    6 - Yellow/brown
    7 - White
    8 - Gray
    9 - Bright blue
    A - Bright green
    B - Bright cyan
    C - Bright red
    D - Bright magenta
    E - Bright yellow
    F - Bright white

    The bright colors are for text only, if chosen for background they still appear as regular.

    This is not a bug, it´s a feature

    Well aren´t you clever.

    It´s really soothing to have this message screen in another colour

    (This might very well be a Windows bug. I´ll have to look into that. Blue screens are supposed to be - blue).

        Adverts in the BSOD? What company would ever want to fork over the amount of money it would cost to have that many ads? NObody needs that much exposure

            Dilitante 1,

            yes, you have to reboot.
            No, this doesnt affect the startup screen.

            The startup screen is a .bmp-file called "logo.sys" that should reside in your root dir. (C:\). Rename it to logo.bmp and you can edit it in Paint (or any other graphics app.). Remember to restore the name.

            Have fun.
