My apologies to everyone that replied to my problem.

I just realized that when a windows message pops up, you can simply do a
ctrl-c and use something like Notepad to ctrl-v. It pastes the error in
text format.

Sorry folks. I never knew you could do that.

All this time, whenever i wanted to save a message window, i would alt-print
screen, open paint and ctrl-v, then save the paint file.

Thanks,
Tony

Attached is a list of keys in Windows. It prints to about 22 pages. It also has a 1/2 written diagnostic section.

I tried this and rebooted and still only see events dated to 4/01/2005.

Hello David.

I cannot use your attachment. I can't save it or open it.

I guess attachments are not allowed in forums ?

What's your point anyway ?

Thanks,
Tony

It's the only complete guide to using a keyboard. You would have known about Ctrl + C/V for messages boxes.

David.

Thanks for that document. Very helpful. And thanks for the tip on how to
use the attachments from forum messages.

Actually, i always knew about cut and paste using the keyboard, i just
didn't know that it worked on windows message screens.

Thanks again for all your help. These forums are a great help and it's
because of people like you. Keep up the great work.

Tony

You can also hold down Alt + Print Screen to capture an active window, that
way you don't have to paste your entire desktp into word or whatever.
