I just reread the subthread in question. I can tell you that I am not
confused.

Or maybe not "not confused" :-)

Reading just the subthread, I'd say my answer was apposite. Also, Malke
gave a related answer to the same post, and she, at least, is intelligent
:-)

Reading the *whole* thread, I have concluded that whs's post was not
clearly phrased, if he meant what you said - but I actually agree with you
now, that it is probably what he meant.

So I withdraw my prior sarcastic remark, now that is it on Usenet forever.

disappear before I can record them accurately. What to do, what to do?
Thanks for your contined help. Clarissa

Clarissa, I would not worry too much about the event log. I have plenty of error messages there too. As long as your system does not come to a halt, they have only statistical value. The good part about Vista is that it is "self healing" in 99% of the cases. If we had to deal with all these error situations manually, we would get nothing done.
The messages from before you bought the PC are probably from the factory when they set your system up. Or maybe it was a demo model at the store.
As far as the "D: too full" message is concerned, try a reboot and see whether it disappears.

And it's a good thing that you DID, because I was about to unleash an
apocalyptic fury on you as you've never experienced before ;->

Hi whs well thanks for all your effort - I am going to stop worrying about -
D: too full - and just screen the other error messages. I was told to
never DEFRAG D: or put anything else on it. Otherwise I like the software
and my computer hasn't done anything nasty or frozen up on me. Thanks again
