Hi, I'm on an Athlon 2000+ computer with Windows XP and SP3. For the last few months my computer has kept freezing up and I can only reset it. It happens constantly and takes half a dozen resets to get onto the internet, where I may get 5 mins or 2 hours before it stops again. I've included a couple of events (see below) copied from clipboard. My event viewer is full of these, always the same two events. Seems to be something in the registry, but I really don't know enough to do any thing about it. Can you help please?Event Type: WarningEvent Source: EvntAgntEvent Category: NoneEvent ID: 1015Date: 18/11/2010Time: 03:07:46User: N/AComputer: ATHLONDescription:TraceLevel parameter not located in registry; Default trace level used is 32.Event Type: WarningEvent Source: EvntAgntEvent Category: NoneEvent ID: 1003Date: 18/11/2010Time: 03:07:46User: N/AComputer: ATHLONDescription:TraceFileName parameter not located in registry; Default trace file used is .

Here is information about the Events, but that may not be your only issue... start with this and then see how things look: The messages mean that the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) components are installed on your system but have not been fully configured. These are warnings messages and not errors (Event Type: Warning).When SNMP tries to start with no configuration details, it tries to inform you the parameters it is looking for are not located in the registry where it would expect to find the information and it complains. When SNMP tries to start without any parameters it displays messages similar to this:Event Type: WarningEvent Source: EvntAgntEvent Category: NoneEvent ID: 1003Description:TraceFileName parameter not located in registry; Default trace file used is .Is it usually accompanied by another warning message that looks similar to this:Event Type: WarningEvent Source: EvntAgntEvent Category: NoneEvent ID: 1015Description:TraceLevel parameter not located in registry; Default trace level used is 32.Are you using SNMP services in your environment? Most single computer systems in a home environment do not use SNMP but sometimes it gets installed or enabled by accident ot when trying to troubleshoot some other network or Internet related issue..If you are not using SNMP, just uninstall it since it is a waste of otherwise productive CPU cycles. If you are using SNMP, you need to configure it to have some valid startup settings.You will find Simple Network Management Protocol in Add/Remove Programs, Add/Remove Windows Components, highlight the Management and Monitoring Tools option, then click Details... Uncheck SNMP (and the WMI component) if you are not using them, and okay your way out and then restart your system and check the Event Viewer again.Some warning messages in the Event Viewer are excusable when the system starts up... as other services depend on each other to be running. Continuous messages (even warnings) in the Event Viewer are annoying, so you would hope that you would only see the white "i" informational type messages when things are running smoothly. No message in the Event Viewer should ever defy reasonable explanation.If your Event(s) does not look like those above, maybe we should see what your event(s) looks like.Here is how to post an event from the Event Viewer into a message:When you double click an event, it will open a Properties window with more information. On the right are black up and down arrow buttons to scroll through the open events. The third button that looks like two pages on top of each other is used to copy the event details to your Windows clipboard.When you find an interesting event that occurred around the time of your issue, click the third button under the up and down arrows to copy the details and then you can paste the details (right click, Paste or CTRL-V) the detail text back here for analysis.If it is your desire, remove any personal information from the pasted information (like User, Computer).To get a fresh start on any Event Viewer log, you can choose to clear the log (backing up the log is offered), then reproduce your issue, then look at just the events around the time of your issue.Do, or do not. There is no try.I need YOUR votes and points for helpful replies and Propose as Answers. I am saving up for a pony!
