The article [Q308427] states that an "event" is any significant occurrence in the system or in a program that requires users to be notified or an entry be added to one of three logs. The Event Log Service records application, security, and system events in Event Viewer. With the event logs in Event Viewer, users can obtain information about hardware, software, and system components, and monitor security events on a local or remote computer. Event logs can help identify and diagnose the source of current system problems, or help predict potential system problems.
Does the report give you any indication or situation requiring this process?
When I go to "my computer" and click on local disk C, I get a message saying to go to the control panel to install and configure system components. The same thing happens when I try to access it from "run". I called DELL and they said to do the restore one day at a time until the message stops coming up and I can get into my drive. Needless to say, this didn't work.
Can anyone tell this old computer illiterate what I am supposed to do?
