The Application log displays error messages from applications that are running on Windows Vista. The error messages include the date and time that the error occurred as well as the source and the event id. You must match the Source to WcesComm or RapiMgr as well as the Event ID. The following messages related to Windows Mobile Device Center may be found in the Application log:
| Event ID | Source | Description |
| 1 | WcesComm RapiMgr |
"Windows Mobile legacy device connectivity service started" RapiMgr successfully started |
| 2 | RapiMgr | RapiMgr failed startup |
| 3 | RapiMgr | RapiMgr stopped successfully |
| 4 | RapiMgr | A device was connected but WMDC thinks a device is already connected to this PC |
| 5 | RapiMgr | A device was plugged in but USB connections are turned off in connection settings |
| 6 | RapiMgr | A device network adapter came up, but WMDC did not get an inbound connection (could be caused by a firewall, virus scanner, anti-malware, VPN, etc) |
| 7 | RapiMgr |
Plug & Play reports a WM RNDIS device, but the PC never gets an IP address for the adapter (device could be in a bad state, desktop could be blocking new network adapters, network adapter might have TCP/IP disabled by something) |
| 8 | RapiMgr | WMDC received a connection from the device, but something failed during the connection protocol. |
