    Was nosying around in Event Viewer and seen this: System is running GREAT and not the least bit slow or getting any msgs, but i was wondering if so many events are normal?

    also, last week i was renaming a file with windows 7, and the next thing i knew ALL my icons turned to paint icons- i had to do a System Restore to get them back- anyone know an easier wayto undo what i did (if you KNOW what i did) in case i do it again, cuz i have no idea HOW it happened-

    The events marked like that are not too unusual, but it's hard to say if they are bad because you would have to go into their details to know what they are.

    Sometimes you get those event viewer error icons when windows is merely showing warnings or sometimes something simple and typical goes wrong such as a web site not loading or a computer over a network is not found because it is not turned on... so on and so fourth.

    As far as your paint icon issue there, I have no idea what THAT is. Weird...
