Event viewer

[buddyorliz]

I have had a computer for Years. Though I have had some issues, I did not
know until this last issues what the event viewer was let alone was for.

With-out having to go through the normal process of getting to the viewer,
(to check every 10 minutes to see if something happened)

Is there anyway to have it pop up when error or warnings happen?
- If it had of this last time it would have saved me about 80 hours of work.

Thanks,
Liz

If you script/program then yes, you can have a process that
waits to be notified when certain events are recorded and
then take action of choice. The alerting capability as you
have described is not prebuilt in the base Windows system
