Auto-detect unexpected shutdown?

External Since: Jan 21, 2004 Posts: 5

If I want my application to be able to tell if the system has had an
unexpected shutdown anytime recently, under Windows NT I can check for event
6008 in the event log.

Does Windows XP use this same event number?

Is there any way under Windows 98 to detect an unexpected shutdown?

Thanks!
