VB ITS, Thanks for the response. &nbsp;I tried what you suggested and the application log is still not showing the text. &nbsp;It says above that there are 20 recorded logs but when i right click on a blank space that is supposed to be a line with text saying the event it crashes on me. &nbsp;Anything else i can try. &nbsp;Why would the text be hidden?

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
