I have an Acer Extensa laptop - WIN XP SP3 currently up to date.
The DVD/CD player for some reason will not open/show what is on it or play -
this is not a regular occurrence - might be the discs themselves.
I went into Event Viewer to see if there were any indications and was
shocked to see that the only events in system and application were dated
2008 - the rough time the computer was built.
Despite a search in MS I have yet to find what or where there may be an
application to get event viewer to record actions on the computer - just
like my desktop does.
Application-
The first entry shown is dated 3 July 2022 - a series of error crypt32.
Then the entries are dated 3 July 2008.
I have been into the 'Action'/Properties/View.
The only choices marked are 'all records' with a DOT and 'newest first' has
a TICK.
Clicking on 'filter' I find there is a date selection box where it says
'first event' 3 July 2022 and last event 27 July 2008.
System-
In the View menu, 'filter has the DOT and 'newest first' has a tick.
The filter here shows same entries as for application's filter.
The dates in both are faded.
Security-
This has just the one event showing - 'audit log cleared' 'success' - Event
517
I.E-
No items to show
MS Office Diag-
No items to show
MS Office Sessions-
There are entries dated from 28 June 2008 to 19 June 2010 so it would appear
that usage of Office has been recording events.
Before I go playing around with any settings I would appreciate some
guidance - even a link to somewhere would help.
