Event Viewer

   Click on the image to zoom

The event viewer allows viewing of 3 types of events:

  • System - Logs system errors for drivers, binding errors or service failures.
  • Security - Logs logon off and log on events and other security related events as set up in the event viewer. These are set up in the user manager.
  • Application - Processes an application action creates.

Each message has an event ID number. The maximum size of logs can be set, and overriding of log entries can also be set depending on available disk space.

System errors:

  • Information: A blue "i" represents this event. A significant event has occurred, but the event is not a critical event.
  • Warning: should be checked.
  • Error: must be checked
