Ok, here we go:

When you get an error number (code) on your system, do you understand what does it mean? Why? Where to go? How to solve the problem?

Well, here's a help place where you can go and check. It's made by Microsoft itself. Hope it'll be helpfull:

Events and Errors Message Center


Find detailed explanations, recommended user actions, and links to additional support and resources.


New! We've added Event ID search capabilities at search.microsoft.com.

http://search.microsoft.com/search/search.aspx?st=b&View=en-us

Here's how it works: Enter '1001' (for example) or 'error 1001' and note that a relevant result appears as one of the top results overall and within the Support & Troubleshooting category. Each page referenced has an informative title, which includes the phrase "Events & Errors Help," followed by the product it applies to, the error source, and error number. When you click on an "Events & Errors" item in these Search results, it provides the error info we have on file, and it provides links to relevant Knowledge Base articles.

Or, if you prefer, use the links and examples below to search specific Events & Errors databases.
