Windows Xp Horror Edition Startup
Ilona Brownson
There was a lost version or edition known as Windows 10 Horror Edition. It was released in 2014 and it was first used by Kaen's brother, Benjamin. He is a game maker and an OS maker. In 2003, he made his first operating system called Benjamin 1.0. He soon made his second operating system in 2005 called Benjamin 2.0.
Everyone agreed. He inserted the DVD in the computer, and everyone watches Benjamin use the computer. He got to the setup and the installation took a few minutes and then got to the startup screen. The startup sound was the Windows 98 one but low pitched. The desktop was Windows 10 background but was red with shades of green. He noticed that there was something in the Recycle Bin, and he clicked on the Recycle Bin.
It was another DVD and was a .wav file and he insert the DVD into the teacher's computer. There was a video called: "CLICKME" and in this video, it's a Windows 10 Horror Edition startup screen but a voice said:
Benjamin got scared and the classmates asked if they would take him home to be comfortable. Benjamin agrees, and the next day, Benjamin got a cold due to the OS. He stayed at the hospital for 1 month, every day he fades into no existence, Kaen realized he is fading into no existence because of the OS, he realized. Benjamin completely faded into no existence; Benjamin woke up in a computer but it's the same.
Windows XP Horror Edition is a program that disguises itself as a Windows XP update, but instead installs malware onto the user's computer. Once launched, the program presents a fake update for Windows XP accompanied by title.wma, better known as Velkommen or the Windows Welcome Music. The update progresses to 66% completion before issuing an error message that reads:
When the user clicks "OK", the background turns red, and the Windows XP logo changes to an monochromatic eye with the text "Don't Look Behind You" accompanied by the song "Creepy Music Box" by Shane Keen. At 100% completion, the screen switches to glitchy static before turning black, with the cursor still visible. After a brief pause, the screen displays a red Windows XP startup animation where the logo is replaced with a red skull with eyes looking towards the user. After the animation finishes, it proceeds to the Welcome screen which is now red and has a black, crying eye.
Once the user boots into Windows XP Horror Edition, they are greeted by a desktop wallpaper full of skulls, the Start button replaced with text reading "DEAD" and a bloody white hand, and four icons labeled "My Computer," "NOTHING," "DON'T OPEN ME.txt," and "Recycle Bin." The desktop background changes to various creepy pictures and glitchy effects, accompanied by "Thresh, the Chain Warden" from League of Legends. The malware also changes the default cursor to a bloody cursor, and when hovering over certain assets, it changes to an eyeball cursor.
Clicking the button labeled "DEAD" opens the Start menu, which appears in red and shows that the username has been changed to "666" and the user icon has been changed. There are two lines of gibberish text with blood splatters, and clicking on them causes them to disappear. Clicking the user icon greets the user with a wooden door, which opens after a few moments with a loud squeaking sound. The user is then jumpscared by Lisa from the Silent Hills demo, P.T., and then is greeted with the text "GO TO SLEEP" written in blood on the screen. From this point forward, the user icon appears to twitch in a glitchy manner whenever the Start menu is opened.
The screen then switches to a jumpscare from the video game Granny with a very loud screech, followed by text that reads "Game Over". The Notepad icon then twitches in a glitchy fashion and cannot be opened again.
The file labeled "NOTHING" displays the animation "The Sad Man" by Jake Lava upon launching. Similar to DON'T OPEN ME.txt, after the animation finishes, the icon then twitches in a glitchy manner and cannot be opened again.
At certain points during use, the screen may change to a Half-Life 3 image with a Trollface version of Gabe Newell accompanied by the "Valve Theme" or to other screamers. Additionally, after displaying several error messages that read "Task Manager has been disabled by your administrator." the program will emit the "nope.avi" soundbite before returning to the desktop.
Selecting "Yes" will result in the My Computer icon moving to the Recycle Bin. Then, the screen will then turn black and display a Phantom Balloon Boy jumpscare from Five Nights at Freddy's 3 accompanied by the scream from Five Night's at Freddy's. Then, a fake red Screen of Death (RSoD) will appear with the message:
A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer. The problem seems to be caused by the following file: 666.SYS PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA If this is the first time you've seen this stop error screen, restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps: Check to make sure any new hardware or software is properly installed. If this is a new installation, ask your hardware or software maufacturer for any windows Updates you might need. If problems continue, disable or remove any newly installed hardware or software. Disable BIOS memory options such as caching or shadowing. If you need to use Safe Mode to remove or disable components, restart your computer, press F6 to select Advanced Startup Options, and then select Safe Mode. Technical information: ***STOP 0x666666666 (0x6666666666,0x66666666,0x66666666,0x66666666)
This message will repeat several times in a line-by-line fashion. Finally, the computer will display a real Blue Screen of Death (BSoD) and reboot. Upon rebooting, the program's final payload overwrites the Master Boot Record (MBR) with an image displaying a monochromatic eye along with the message:
The program disables Task Manager upon launch, making it impossible to end the process using this tool. To fix the overwritten MBR, the user may use the Windows Setup loader on the installation media, access the Command Prompt through Repair Your Computer, and enter the commands bootrec /fixboot and bootrec /fixmbr. Alternatively, the MBR can be repaired using NeoSmart's Easy Recovery Essentials, a recovery and diagnostic tool designed to restore non-functioning Windows computers.
The Peaceful version of the software differs from the Destructive version in that after the Phantom Balloon Boy jumpscare and fake RSoD, the application simply closes instead of triggering a BSoD and overwriting the MBR.
If I unplug it and plug it in again, I'm getting the same message again, the device doesn't work and Windows hangs when I try to reboot or shutdown.
I have a freshly installed Windows 7 (the same edition) on a secondary disk, and there is no such problem there.
I solved a similar problem. My USB system had become very ill: although existing drivers would work fine, as soon as I moved any USB device to another port or installed a new device or tried, horror, to reinstall a device, Windows would refuse with "USB device not recognized". Within a couple of hours, my system was reachable by Remote Desktop only -- no USB at all worked.
Secondly, I would suggest booting the "bad" version in Safe mode. If the problem now disappears, then the cause is some installed product. Use Autoruns to turn off stuff in bunches and rebooting until you find the guilty product.
The only solution to avoid complete re-installation may be to refresh Windows by doing Startup Repair in Windows 7. This will only refresh Windows and leave alone all installed applications and their settings. You will need a Windows boot DVD of the same service-pack level as your installed system.
If your Windows installation is too messed-up so that Startup Repair fails, you will need to reinstall Windows from scratch, recommended with a reformat of the hard disk. So ensure you have backups of all your data, and installation media for all your products including serials. On some computers you receive a boot CD that allows you to restore the system to its state as when bought.
Did they used to work? If not, then perhaps you have a bad USB hub/controller. If they did, then unless there was a short-circuit or something to damage the hub/controller, it should be possible to fix it.
I have seen this with a few different kinds of devices. In most cases, there was nothing actually wrong with the device. (Which makes me feel really bad about spending $27CAD to ship my QX3 back to Intel in the USA in exchange for a check for $24CAD. >:-)
Ensure that the cables are all correctly connected. Sometimes the cables (including the ones that connect from the ports on the front or back of the case to the motherboard) can come loose a bit, thus disrupting the connection.
Clean the pins. The metal pins on the USB connector (on both the device/cable and the port) can accumulate a patina (especially in humid conditions), which disrupts the signal. Use a cotton swab with water/soap/alcohol or something to clean them off, thus restoring their electrical connection. I usually just resort to lightly scrubbing them with a cardboard Emory board.
Open a command-prompt (cmd.exe), type set devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices=1 followed by devmgmt.msc. In the Device Manager, select View->Show hidden devices. Now find the device that is giving you problems, right-click it and select Uninstall. Disconnect the device, reboot, and connect it when Windows has completely loaded.
Turns out it was the PCI-e slot my GPU was plugged into. I swapped it from my top PCI-e Gen3 slot to my bottom PCI-e Gen2 slot and the issues are GONE. However, there is a small noticeable decline in performance due to it being a previous gen so this is not ideal.
I am having the same issue. After looking at posts with other people that have the same question, I am seeing them having the same difficulties as us. I don't think its a physical issue however, I am no expert.
