I, like everyone else, have the occassional PC problem. I, like almost everyone else, also have the occassional server issue at one of the sites I support (02 and 00, respectively).

Now, when I have a PC issue, I’m all over the M$ knowledge base and can usually find the problem, what caused it and how to fix it in less than 30 minutes.

So, my question is, why is it when I look for something concerning 03 or 00 I can not find an answer? Not only can I not find the answer, I can’t find the problem, the event ID or the text that is the error. Am I the only one that’s ever received Event ID: 34 with the text:

An error occurred while trying to determine the number of mouse buttons.

Can you believe that searching the KB for either the full text, part of the text or the Event ID yields zero results?

It’s a great source of information. I just wished when I search that I could get relevant results.

Maybe it’s mad because I use firefox, not IE, when searching?

   No, you’re not the only one. I have this error and many other beauties such as “The description for Event ID ( 5790 ) in Source ( NETLOGON ) cannot be found. ” and “The event could not be logged because the event log is full.” Well, thanks a lot for using up some space to tell me that I was running out of space. Just wanted to share.

   Oh good one Mike, here I am searching for the same problem as you have, and all I find is you saying you have the problem! Bah
