This confirms one of the possible issues that I suspected. WMI wasn't part
of Win2K until SP2, and it's no surprise that there are issues with it.

The other thought I had is that Application logs are far more likely to
contain weirdness due to third-party apps writing to them and that you may
have success with System or Security logs.
