Your log file is legible but it does not tell us a great deal because it
fails to display any of the extended error messages. It appears that some
MSI installation package had a problem - whether it was minor or major I
cannot tell. What did you install? Did the installation work? Does your PC
still work?

Oh yes the pc still works. I just noticed some X's in a red circle and
!'s in a yellow triangle. I thought there might be some errors.

No event in the Event Log should ever defy explanation. Red X, yellow
triangle or anything. There should always be a reason that is
sensible.

I have not seen your events and instead of wasting back and forth
message cycles, here is is a method to provide more information about
individual events:

To see the Event Viewer logs, click Start, Settings, Control Panel,
Administrative Tools, Event Viewer.

A shortcut to Event Viewer is to click Start, Run and in the box
enter:

%SystemRoot%\system32\eventvwr.msc /s

Click OK to launch the Event Viewer.

The most interesting logs are usually the Application and System.
Some logs may be almost or completely empty.
Not every event it a problem, some are informational messages that
things are working okay.


Each event is sorted by Date and Time. Errors will have red Xs,
Warnings will have yellow !s.
Information messages have white is. Not every Error or Warning event
means there is a serious issue.
Some are excusable at startup time when Windows is booting.

If you double click an event, it will open a Properties windows with
more information. On the right are
black up and down arrow buttons to scroll through the open events. The
third button that looks like
two pages on top of each other is used to copy the event details to
your Windows clipboard.

When you find an interesting event that occurred around the time of
your issue, click the third button
under the up and down arrows to copy the details and then you can
paste the details (right click, Paste
or CTRL-V) the detail text back here for analysis.

To get a fresh start on any Event Viewer log, you can choose to clear
the log (backing up the log is offered),
then reproduce your issue, then look at just the events around the
time of your issue.

Ok I have this figured out now I stopped the event handler and erased my
original .evt files and turned the event handler back on. Here's the one
error I have now.

Event Type: Error

Time: 1:06:04 PM
