## Warning (ReactOS Only)

This program may crash ReactOS or impact its stability, potentially resulting in data loss or application failure. Use at your own risk.

The screensaver exploits a critical system bug, randomly chosen from hundreds present in ReactOS. This bug may be fixed or behave differently in future ReactOS versions.

By default, the BSOD feature is disabled. To enable it: open the screensaver configuration dialog, select the screensaver, right-click it, and choose "Configure".
