Unhandled exception

I am trying to run a program that copies files off of the
server on to a workstation, it also verifies registry
entries. The minute the program launches I get the
unhandled exception. In the event viewer there is the
following error, event id 105 source is either ptssvc or
dcfssvc, the description is: The description for event id
105 in source ptssvc cannot be found. The local computer
may not have the necessary registry information or message
dll files to display messages from a remote computer. The
following information is part of the event: the event log
file is corrupt. I have saved and emptied the application
log and still receive the message. Have not found much on
microsofts KB site. Has any one seen this?
 
Separate issues here.
1.) Get a copy of the watson log to the application developer.

2.) Simply means the developer provided a means to write to the event log,
but didn't provide a description for this event. Check Device Manager for
errors and or non-starting devices. Possibly a kodak or other camera related
service or driver.

3.) Control Panel|Administrative Tools|Services|Event Log Service|General,
set the "Startup Type:" to "Disabled" restart the pc, then delete (or move)
the corrupt AppEvent.Evt file from %windir%\system32\config then set the
Event Log Service "Startup Type:" back to "Automatic", restart for effect.

Hi Mark - Following is from EventID.net, here:

This may appear if the user deletes the Kodak camera software directory
without removing the software through Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel.

PTSSVC, the Picture Transfer Service from Kodak is usually installed with
your Kodak DX-series camera. If you have disabled the picture transfer
software in some way (through system tray, control panel or registry) then
you may get errors like this in the eventlog at startup. You will note in
Services.msc that the service is unhelpfully called "ptssvc" rather than
anything more descriptive.

This seems to be related to the Kodak Picture Transfer software & XP. Some
further information that might be related to this can be found in Q320911.

This error is related to the Kodak Easyshare software, which is used to
transfer photos from your Kodak digital camera to your computer. See the
link below for more information (lookup "dcfssvc").

This has been correct, I added windir=%systemroot% in the
environment variables and now it works. It was also
generating an error when right clicking on my computer and
choosing manage, it was generating Cannot find the file
(null) or one of its components, make sure the path and
file name are correct and that all required librarys are
available. Thanks for the input.
