      I don’t have Win 2008 R2, only worked with 2003. Anyway, I never needed user event viewer access logs. You should ask this kind of question in 2008 server forums.

    Hi,
    In which .log, if any, I could find info regarding the reasons for freezing of XP, going to standby?
    Thanks in advance.

  4. Anyone know how to correct message (problem): “Two IP addresses found” indicating there is another computer with same IP number. There is only one PC here.

      You have to provide more info on this issue. If you are on some kind of WIFI network, then maybe DHCP server issued one more identical IP address by mistake…

      Sorry, Lonsy, but I can’t help you here. You should call the police or the network service provider, they should be able to help you.
