The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer.

How do I trim off all of that garbage about "The description blah blah" and just leave the part that I want that says 'AutoIt3 generated event'

Thanks

You get that any time you use an invalid EventID for the selected source type. Previous topic on this.

There was an additional solution posted involving downloading and installing .dll file (didn't try that one).
