I have been having trouble with screen freezes so I reckon I have a hanging application somewhere.How do I access the Microsoft tool 'Event Viewer' in Me ?

Thanks for response 'jboy'and greetings from England. Here is a link to the microsoft help analysis I have been using http://oca.microsoft.com/en/response.aspx?SGD=a9a72d35-3acc-4002-a993-e553e79d86ab&SID=1328 You will see the event viewer is high profile under 'troubleshooting' I reckon the answer is the tool is missing from Me as you suggest in your posting.Any thoughts ?

Quite obvious really as they only mention W2K and XP in the article:
"How To View and Manage Event Logs in Event Viewer in Windows XP
How To Diagnose System Problems with Event Viewer in Microsoft Windows 2000"

Thanks to everyone that responded. With respect to 'hiho' imho it was not 'quite obvious' that Event Viewer was missing from Me on reading the crash analsis support page.I know differently now and accept I should have realised and not wasted everyones time.I suppose the day is not far off when Microsoft will pull the plug on Me.Over and out from England

Microsoft have already pulled the plug on ME, only security updates will be offered if serious enough.
