I want to do this! What's This?

Sometimes when Windows-based systems suffer a system failure, a blue screen error message will appear, displaying the type of error that caused the system failure. Often a computer is programmed to automatically restart when a blue screen error message appears, leaving the user unable to see what caused the failure. It is possible, however, to adjust the settings so the computer does not restart automatically when a blue screen appears.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

   Click the "Start" button on the lower-left side of the screen.
