Archiving Event Log Files

In the unlikely event that your system experiences problems, take a snapshot of the
system event log and the application event log, and save each of these to a file in order
to capture important details relevant to the problem.
To save log files
1. Right-click the log file in Event Viewer.
2. Select Save Log File As.
3. In the Save "Log File" As dialog box:
•
In the Save In: box, accept the default or enter a new path name.
•
In the File name: box, enter the file name.
•
In the Save as type: box, accept the default type, Event Log (*.evt). This allows
you to view the saved file in Event Viewer.
4. Click Save to save the file.
5. After you archive the log file, you can clear it. To clear the log, click Action, and
then click Clear all Events.
Archiving the log file has no effect on the current contents of the active log.

Windows services. If any of these services is not running, the system does not function
as designed. The Express5800/320Ma: Technical Reference Guide describes these
services.
