How to get windows "event viewer log"

Post by thunderchero »

when you have a crash or game will not start the info in the windows event viewer might be helpful to narrow down the issue.

To get info,
use windows search box and type;
eventvwr.exe
in new window select "windows log" on left
in sub tabs select "application"
your screen should look like this
event.jpg
event.jpg (296.03 KiB) Viewed 3366 times
if crash was recent it should be at top or you can use find function on right and search for "trek.exe"

the error log will have the 3 lines that I am interested in and is highlighted in center of image above.
