The red screen of death (RSoD) is a variation of the familiar Blue screen of death which exists in the prerelease versions of Microsoft's upcoming operating system, Windows Vista (previously codenamed Longhorn).
The red screen of death is said to differ from its blue counterpart, by being shown as a result of "really bad errors". This refers to boot loader errors.
The 'red screen of death' also sometimes refers to fatal errors in recent versions of Lotus Notes. These errors are not full-screen like the Microsoft red/blue screens of death, but rather are bright red boxes with black borders.
Display
The RSoD uses 80x25 text mode. The screen resolution is 640x400. The font is similar to Fixedsys.
The following is a re-creation of a RSoD: (the spelling error exectuion is original)

You can try to recover the system with the Microsoft Windows System Recovery
Tools. (You might need to restart the system manually.)
If the problem continues, please contact your system administrator or computer
manufacturer.
