Does anyone know were I can find what the Event ID's mean and what some
possible resolutions are.
 
Among the many Microsoft products there must be thousands of Event IDs,
which are not described all in one place.

Could you be more specific? Which program are you looking at, where in
the program are you looking, what is the event ID number and what is the
accompanying text?
 
You need to have the Event ID & the Event Source. Microsoft product: --All
Products-- is usually good enough. Be careful when scrolling down in the
page so that Microsoft product: doesn't change on you.

To view Windows XP Events and Errors, type the Source (for example, Print)
and/or the Event code (for example, 20) into the ID field, then click the Go
button. Source and Event codes may be found in the Event Viewer logs.

Event ID & the Event Source are very important.

To open the Event Viewer...
Start | Run | Type: eventvwr | Click OK

For any Events that seem related to the problem...

Double click the event in Event Viewer | Click: the button below the second
arrow (looks like two pages) [[Copies the details of the event to the
Clipboard.]] | Paste into Notepad | Also click on:
