Martha gets an error message every time her system boots up. The error message reads, “A service did not start.” Where is the best place to look for more information on this error message?
  1. System event log
  2. Application log
  3. Security log
  4. Dr. Watson log
Explanation
Answer: A - All system logs related to services, driver, and startup can be viewed in the System Log section of the Event viewer. To open Event viewer, choose Start > Programs > Administrative Tools > Event Viewer. Choose the System link to view the system logs.

Key Takeaway: There are three types of event logs that can be viewed in the Events viewer: system logs, applications logs, and security logs. In the System section of the Event viewer you can find all system-related logs, like services, drivers, startup, etc. The Application and Security sections, on the other hand, can be used to find all information on application-related and security-related events.
