How can I read the logfiles?

Hi Had XP bluescreen on me a couple of times and set up a
trace log. It creates the log with a .etl extension. How
can I read this thing - Microsoft's website no help.

Try START - HELP & SUPPORT - click on INDEX - scroll down to "log files"
and then "managing in Event Viewer".

You can also get to Event Viewer by START - CONTROL PANEL - Performance
& Maintenance - Administrative Tools - Event Viewer
