Hi Liona!

Documentation for many parts of Windows systems is hard to come by from
Microsoft, so you may be interested in http://www.eventid.net/. I've found
that it gets a lot of the stranger event IDs.

For much of what's logged in the Windows event logs, the numbers come from
the applications themselves and not necessarily Windows. If you see an
informative description of what's happened, then the application programmers
have included a "dictionary" of event IDs and their meanings for you. If you
see very generic information, then a dictionary probably hasn't been
included with your software. Here's an interesting document about how to
read some events http://www.eventid.net/show.asp?DocId=22.

Hope this helps! bill
