    When I do something wrong in win xp, it will pop out error message.
    Sometimes the error message looked like this (it's a normal windows box)

    but sometimes is like this (it's a windows box in safe mode)
    http://www.osnn.net/attachments/win...windows-low-registry-space-registry-error.jpg

    p/s:Both error message box is found on the web

    My question is:
    What is the difference between these two error message boxes and why they looked different sometimes?

    Any answers will be appreciated ;)

    I guess you're asking about the color etc and not the verbage of the errors which explains the difference... It could be something simply like the message boxes were created in different division within Microsoft.

    In Safe Mode, Windows uses simple video drivers with minimum colors. All windows are low colors in Safe Mode.
