is it possible to alert an administrator of certain events in event viewer ?

[neil]

I would like to receive a message either by email or messenger when a
certain event is recorded in event viewer. eg event id:1,
source:VBRuntime.
Is there any way of achieving this. I am prepared to do a bit of
scripting if someone can point me in the right direction.

Use Psloglist to dump the log and parse it with a FOR command.
