Search didn't help, I can't seem to find it right now but can you help to
find the MS URL or other web site so I can learn how to read and understand
how to fix my XP when something goes weird though the use of the event
viewer??
 
Except for the red Xs listed,most need'nt be even read.The red ones,open,
then click on the url in it,this opens help/support in xp usually with a
fix to it..
 
HOW TO: View and Manage Event Logs in Event Viewer in Windows XP

Event Viewer overview

This can also be very useful.

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.
