Re: Event Viewer Question

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Something WAS triggering the open event,
I found it was the Windows Error Reporting Service.

I have a sound trigger for the 'Open program' event in Vista Basic sp2
x32 When my computer is idle and I "here" a program open the
only thing I have to go by is the time it occurred.

If I want to go to Event Viewer in Administrative Tools and see what
this event was that triggered the event sound I'm overwhelmed with
a bunch of categories and sub-categories.

In order to find what opened at the specific time I need to check each
category and
sub-category. That is a real pain in the ass.

I find no search capabilities in Event Viewer unless I've missed it.

Is there some way of making a hunt for a specific time easier in Event
Viewer?
Or, is there some 3rd party software with the capability to sort all
events by
data and time??

Both links discuss how to filter.

Just out of idle curiosity I'd be interested to know what you find as the "offending" program.
