Regarding the event viewer application log.

[Guest talgam]

I have received a red X on the left hand pane of the Application log in the

event viewer. It won't display the application log on the right. I am not

allowed to do a destructive restore because extra programs that were

installed, we installed by a third party and he doesn't have contact with

them. He does not have a Windows CD because it has the recovery sector on

the hard drive.

 

Is there any way that this problem can be fixed. I have not come across

this problem before and I can use all the help I can get on this problem.

Do you mean when you double click the Error to get more inf it doesn't open?

Please clarify what you mean.

If my guess is wrong then try to access the event viewer by doing the

following:

 

Open a Notepad, customize or minimize to the taskbar as you will need it

later for this step to copy the error message on it.

Open a run command and type in:

eventvwr.msc click [OK] you will get the Event viewer control Panel.

click on each of these:

Application

System

Security

Look in the right Pane/window for error message with red (X) or Yellow

exclamation mark /!\ , double click each one to get more info about the

causer.

On the Event error properties message you will see:

Up Arrow

Down arrow

Two pages

Click on the two pages to copy the error message then bring up the Notepad

you opened earlier and right click on the first line and select Paste from

the list, this will paste the error message on a Notepad.

Please don't duplicate the error message one of each kind will be sufficient.

Please we need just the error messages with Red (X) and don't repeat the

error, just one of each kind and post them back in your next post.

 

If your Event Viewer logs are corrupted then try to clear them by doing the

following instruction in these lonks:

 

Also start with clean Boot and see if you can get the error messages.
