I just had the weirdest phone call from a supposed certified microsoft engineer to tell me about errors and warnings in my event log..... when he tried to charge me for some warranty (comp is only 2 months old if that and is covered by "If anything happens" so pretty well covered!) I hung up. However looking at the logs there are a reasonable amount of warnings and errors. I notice a couple of them are where I've shut a non responsive programme using end task.
Anyway, he was blanatly trying to scaremonger me into buying things but is there anything in what he said? Basically that these errors and warning clog up the computer, make it slow and contain spy ware etc etc.
I'm reasonably techie when it comes to software and things but the inner workings.... not so much! This laptop is great for my uses but nothing particularly special, I don't have those sort of funds, it's an Acer Aspire 5740G
