What's the event log file say in 'Event Viewer'?

 

So what is the Event Viewer and where do I find it?

 

start/control panel/administrative tools/event viewer.

2x click 'application', right side window, 2x click event for time of app failure. Should be tagged 'error'. Post file to forum. Someone else here will be able to decipher...

 

Thanks. This is the error file:

Since the Microsoft link had no suggestions for solving the problem and Memtest did not reveal any problems with the memory in my computer. I switched to FileAnt which seems to operate fine.

 

The latest updates to Windows XP seem to have corrected the problem, but I find FireAnt quite useful.
