Disable Auto-restart on Blue Screen
Posted in Windows XP .:. 2 Comments
An annoying feature of Windows XP is it’s auto-restart whenever a (albeit, infrequent) blue screen of death appears. The instantaneous restart leaves no time to read any error code which could be useful in diagnosing the problem. Here’s how to disable the restart so you have time to read the message.
1. Go to Control Panel ? System.
2. Select the Advanced tab and click Settings under the Startup and Recovery heading.
3. Uncheck Automatically Restart under System Failure.
It is very “good” advice to turn the automatic restart off in the Control panel when the computer keeps restarting…
I am missing the advice how to get into the Control panel then. Btw., I don’t understand the SENSE itself of the automatic restart, not talking of the fact it is set as a default.
Thank you so much this really helped. because sometimes it pops up when there’s nothing wrong with the computer.
