My computer keeps crashing. i keep getting the same event ID error codes. The one i am dealing with now is Event ID 10. Unfortunately I don't understand the instructions on the MS help site lol. Could someone please tell me what tro do?

To resolve this problem, run a script to stop the Event ID 10 messages. To run this script, follow these steps:

1. In a text editor, such as Notepad, create a new text document named Test.vbs.
2. Paste the following code into Test.vbs: strComputer = "."
   Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _
   & "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" _
   & strComputer & "\root\subscription")
   
   
   Set obj1 = objWMIService.Get("__EventFilter.Name='BVTFilter'" )
   
   set obj2set = obj1.Associators_("__FilterToConsumerBinding")
   
   set obj3set = obj1.References_("__FilterToConsumerBinding")
   
   
   
   For each obj2 in obj2set
   WScript.echo "Deleting the object"
   WScript.echo obj2.GetObjectText_
   obj2.Delete_
   next
   
   For each obj3 in obj3set
   WScript.echo "Deleting the object"
   WScript.echo obj3.GetObjectText_
   obj3.Delete_
   next
   
   WScript.echo "Deleting the object"
   WScript.echo obj1.GetObjectText_
   obj1.Delete_
   
   
3. After you run this script, the Event ID 10 messages stop appearing in the Application log. However, you have to manually clear any previous Event ID 10 messages.
   
   Note Make sure that you only delete the appropriate Event ID 10 messages. There may be other pertinent Event ID 10 messages that you do not want to delete.

Ok, I've made the notepad thing and called it Test.vbs. How do I "run" it? Then how do I delete the error code?

To run it just double click on it. If it opens in Notepad, you have not renamed it properly.

To delete the errors, I assume you just need to go to Event Viewer and clear then (Start - Run (or in vista the search box) eventvwr.msc )

Where do you get these errors though? Do they pop up?

Have you reformatted recently?

I need to sleep now but will try to help more tomorrow unless someone else has more ideas in the interim.

Well that was weird. I right clicked it and it had the option to "open with" as something I don't remember and notepad. I chose the "something else." It flashed open briefly and then closed. So I right clicked it again and where the top option would usually be "Open" It said something like "run as command prompt." Again it flashed open and closed so fast I couldn't read anything. SO i right clicked it AGAIN and this time the only "open as" option was "notebook." Thinking i had done something wrong, I erased the file and tried to re-create it. Now it will only save as "Test.VSB.TXT"

Fortunately what I did one of the first two times appears to have worked. I also figured out how to go through and delete my 14,000 plus error, warnings and so on. As a result, I quit crashing. The sad thing is I spent over 12 hours doing "stuff" and I'm not sure I remember everything I did lol.

Yep .... there wouldn't really be anything to see and it would execute very quickly & close when done ..... so you obviously did things ok
