hi

I am very concerned about the state of my 4 month old vista laptop!

On looking around at some areas within control panel that I have never loked at before, I came across Event Viewer. Although I dont understand anything in it () I am very concerned as it is coming up with events that it is stating are either critical or warning. They all appear to be in either:

System Performance Monitoring
Boot Performance Monitoring
Shutdown Performance Monitoring
Standby Performance Monitoring
Desktop Window Manager Monitoring

Can anyone help me with this as it worried me greatly!

thanks in anticipation
msiz

If you list them here we can better instruct.

Usually it is not good if you are getting messages there, but it may also be problems of no actual consequence!

hiya

thanks for that. I have attached a screenshot of event viewer which shows some of the errors, but only the ones able to show up on screen (ie the errors go on for ever ) .... is there an alternative way to show them?

Didn't look like you had ever received an answer. this is what you want:

The short of it is these messages are known problems with Vista that Microsoft advises you to ignore
