I finally took the plunge and moved up in the PC department. I first booted up my new PC/Vista HP(x64) and since then I have been yearning to get my old pc out of the storage box. Really now, isn't Vista, quad core processors, DVD/CD burner/writers, supposed to be the set-up to have as we move forward? My old XP Home Ed gave me few headaches and was steadfast in it's delivery of what I wanted to do. It was the PC and it's components that were becoming outdated and old, 10 years. Since I have had this new system I have been trying to figure out just how to keep tabs on the system hardware and software. I was looking at the Admin. Event Viewer after contact Microsoft about some problems I was having with programs becoming invalid/corrupted. I noticed that in 19 days my error reporting program has issued: 861 Errors 1480 Warnings 18, 891 Information ......events. I don't believe that this is an true accounting of error events, as I have noticed some event logs go back two or three days. But we will consider the total given in the 'Event Viewer(Local)' section, I am now wondering is this alot of errors for this span of time? I don't have a large amount of experience with the Admin tools or understanding how to address the plethora of errors in the event viewers logs. I just know that when some program is issuing alot of error reports that something is amiss. I did spend some time with tech supp. addressing a 'HP Cue DeviceDiscovery Service' problem two days ago. But I see those errors are now back. So I downloaded all of the data within the event viewers logs and shipped them off to tech supp. That was two days ago, I figure it may take awhile before I hear back from them. I see this query is getting long. So I'll Say "Hi" I'm Bill and I am new to this forum. I'll post abit more about myself later. Hope someone can provide some insight to what is going on with my operating system and programs. Thanx for taking the time to read and consider my query(ies)' Bill
