Bruce,
The program only sees what crash files that were created. Therefore if
there were none prior to January then there were no Bluescreen errors.
However, system event errors could still be happening and that is where
event viewer would be the place to look. (An example would be services not
starting, or a program that attempts to start and hangs the system, but does
not bluescreen it.)
You are welcome,
Derek
