[AccessD] Access Development PC Keeps Dying

System logs in Win XP:

Right click on My Computer.  Select 'Manage'.  You should get the Computer
Management console window.

Select System Tools/Event Viewer/System.  This should give you the System
log messages in the right hand screen.  You can right click on each message
and look at its Properties for more info.

Hope this helps

Incidentally, it is this message log that various phone scammers get you to
look at, as it has lots of warning messages and errors.  Then they try to
convince you that they can 'fix' your problems by getting you to buy and
download their malware.
