an application message. The key is to find out which one.
Most of the items in Event Viewer have a blue I for information on a
white circle. Errors have a white X on a red circle. It should take a
few seconds to use the scroll bar to look for the red circles. I
recommend that you concentrate on application and system events but you
may need to look at all four categories. Why Application and system
events? If a piece of hardware is causing the message, it will be in
system events. Application failures will be in application events.
For instance, while writing this email, I actually browsed the system
and application events and found that since I had turned my external
drive off, Acronis could not start a backup on 12/25/08. I got both an
applications error from Acronis and a write failure to the drive in the
systems events.
Note - If the last day you got the message was 12/28/08, I would only
look at that date. Your computer produces plenty of errors that you
never see and you don't need to look at them all.
