My System Event Log (XP Pro SP1) is giving me a series of Warnings
related to a timeout from the Plug & Play Manager. Specifically, the
EventID I'm getting means: Timed out sending notification of device
interface change to window of "program or service name and/or GUID."

The "program or service name and/or GUID" listed in the Event Log is
"MyTest" which doesn't really help me figure out what process is behind
this Warning -- and the name suggests it might be something that I'd
really rather wasn't running on my PC.

Naturally, by the time I look at the Log and find out that a series of
these timeout warnings occured 5 hours ago, there is no active process
or service called "MyTest." Can anyone suggest an event monitor or
process monitor that I can run in the background and use to attempt to
correlate the times of the event warnings with processes and services
that were running at that time? Also, I don't know how or where to look
for a "GUID" so suggestions on this (or other suggestions for tracking
down the source of these warnings) would be appreciated.
 
You might try DXDIAG on the start, run line,
to see if it can find an error.
 
Thanks for the suggestion. I'll give it a try (not at the problem system
right now).
