system error log

Where is the 'system error log' to be found in WinME?
Or is it only present in WinXP?
Just another 'innocent' question.

In the Windows folder where it is called Faultlog.txt just as it is in
Win98 and 98SE but only present if you have enabled logging.

Thank you very much, Mike.
It invokes another question:
How do I enable logging in WinME?

Harry.

Harry,

The easiest method being to check the box "Log application errors to
FAULTLOG.TXT" on the Paranoia tab of TweakUI.

This can be done using regedit but a number of entries are involved the
more important of which is the need to create the key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Fault
containing the string LogFile with Value data C:\WINDOWS\FAULTLOG.TXT

Mike:

That brings up more questions again:
Why does Paranoia consider this feature an "Illegal Operation"?
And, if it is an illegal operation, will it not create problems?
Will it be sufficient to check the box, or must I still create the registry
key you mention?
Hope you don't mind all these questions.

Harry.

Harry,

Illegal operations are errors and this thread is about where to find the
log of such errors. Hence my reference to TweakUI and the section named
"Illegal Operations" containing the option to "Log application errors to
FAULTLOG.TXT" so am somewhat surprised to see your question. I guess the
author of TweakUI feels that all the various check boxes and options
should be categorised in sections on the various tabs which he also
labels. Perhaps you'd prefer to see no section heading.

> Will it be sufficient to check the box, or must I still create the

I gave you two options. Either or. Your choice entirely as to which you
choose to use if any. I'd recommend you use TweakUI which is what I use.

Harry, please use the wizard, as Mike suggests. It doesn't make typing
mistakes in the registry!

Jack:

My last reply to Mike's last post somehow didn't make it to this news group.
In it I acknowledged to have used TweakUI, and I suppose that's what you
mean by "wizard", because it is much safer than a registry tweak.
The FAULTLOG.TXT folder is already doing its job for me.
Now I have a way to research the errors to find a remedy.
Thanks for for your and Mike's assistance.

Harry.

Harry, I congratulate you for again exhibiting a learning curve that is not
flat.

Thank you, Jack, I needed that.

Harry, old and must look out for the U-Turn.
