Another alternative is to use Eventviewer's Filter command to select
just what you want to see. Go to the View menu, select Filter, then
deselect everything except Warnings and Errors. The view reverts back
to 'everything' when you close and re-open Eventviewer, or you can
simply select All Records from the View menu.
