Excessive? Audit Success in Event Viewer

[rctelles]

So I am kind of new to poking around in event viewer. I started moseying around in it to try to figure out what was causing a game to crash and now Im concerned (paranoid) about the "Audit Success" entries. There is like 800+ in a 24 hour period. What does this mean? Should I be concerned?

Most of these are event ID 4797: An attempt was made to query the existence of a blank password. Any ideas?

Does your Windows login have a password?

Disclaimer: Still, I don't know much about Event Viewer and I've never been succesful at identifying problems with it. I know even less about "Audit Success".

Once you upgrade to Windows 10, many of those issues will be obsolete (that is, you'll have new problems/causes of crashing).

I dont have a password. Think it could just be that?

Could be. But that's just a guess off of my familiarity with pseudo-code. Let me know if it works. It probably won't.

Meh, Im not going to work myself up over it. If nothing is wrong Im just going to let it be. Everything is reported as an error with event viewer it seems.
