Coosbaylumber Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 I have been trying to import a few very large files of 200-400 meg into a home R-14 system. It must get there, but only for a few minutes as then some sort of an error mesage goes across the monitor for about 2-3 seconds, and am instantly back at Windows level. It was so fast I don't know what it said. The error message stayed visible for only like 2-3 seconds, and then poof. Here's Windows!!! Is there a place I can go to read the error messages? I tried the standard seach for a text file minutes later on, but nothing came up. Wm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarlB Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 Hit the "print screen" key when message appears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 200 to 400MB? Really? On a system running R14? What are the system specs? You may not have enough RAM and/or large enough swap file to accomplish the task. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coosbaylumber Posted October 3, 2009 Author Share Posted October 3, 2009 Hit the "print screen" key when message appears. That is main problem. I may wait on it less than one minute for error message to show up, and then waited nearly 2- the next time. Very irregular as to when it pops to the common Windows format. If it go to PRINT SCREEN, it wouldthen print the Windows Icons etc. Wm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 Hit the Pause/Break button instead. Jot the error message down the old fashioned way - pencil and paper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coosbaylumber Posted October 3, 2009 Author Share Posted October 3, 2009 I don't really have the time to hit any button. I get kicked back to Windows within two seconds at any random time too. I am not a dedicated monitor "ONLY" looker, but happened to notice two times as I came aroung he corner to room that there was a error message upon the monitor that must have showed up for only 2 seconds and then the whole system shut down, kicked out, and went into Windows. Thus I do not know what that error mesage said, nor had the time to sit down and hit some button at the keyboard. I don't know what it said. for can't put eyeglasses on that fast. Can't do all that is required in the 2-3 seconds it shows. Thus I thought I could go to some reader file (as explained in some manual of years ago) and see what it said. Only thing I can rememebr was that the file said the text could not be altered. Now, where do I try and find that error message file then? Wm.

ReMark Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 What OS are you running? Maybe there is a .log file? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 Event.log might be what you're looking for. See if there is an EventViewer.exe file on your hard drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
