Error messages in event viewer

[Bill]

Does anyone know where I can find a list of error messages
and what to do about them for Win 2000 Server?

I am getting a lot of messages in the Application Log (it
fills in days) these are logged at times when there is no
activity on the Server. One of the common ones is [Source
userenv] [event 1000] [user system]

Any help would be most welcome. I have also had it locking
up for no reason needing a reset and reboot to get it going
again. This happens when its working or idle for instance
in the middle of the night.

Do what Ed said.

Machines don't lock up for no reason. W2k is VERY active,
ALL the time, "idle" or not. Busy busy busy checking its
navel and other parts. Lots and lots of hardware &
software problems can cause this.

Run System File Checker (see Start/Help).

Make sure you have very good antivirus/spyware/adware
and firewall processes in place and updated daily.

Scan the entire system to remove any malware. If any
is/are found note what it/they is/are carefully (and if
you know you were infected at some point) go to any
good antivirus website, get the necessary repair
instructions and tools and use them. Virus code itself
is relatively easy to identify and remove; the changes
it may have made to system files are much more
difficult - a different proposition altogether. In
some cases of a multiple infestation of an unprotected
system it can be much easier to simply blow away and
reinstall the whole shebang.

Having pursued all of the above, if you need to come
back, post again in this thread - with detail of what
you've tried and what you're seeing in Event Viewer,
Device Manager, and the like. Good luck
