In addition to what usasma has posted, you can double click on any event
listed in Event Viewer. A screen will appear with more details about the
event. Possible a more complete error message that can be used as a
reference to research the problem.

Also, there is often a link at the end of the info screen. Clicking that
while online, you get a prompt about sending the error info over the
internet. Say yes. The browser will appear shortly after that and if there
is further information, and possibly suggestions for resolving the error,
it will appear here.
