Is there a utility or something available that can capture the events and description of the event from the Windows event viewer. Right now the only way I can see is to copy it to the clipboard and paste it.

The tools included in the PsTools suite are:
PsExec - execute processes remotely
PsFile - shows files opened remotely
PsGetSid - display the SID of a computer or a user
PsInfo - list information about a system
PsKill - kill processes by name or process ID
PsList - list detailed information about processes
PsLoggedOn - see who's logged on locally and via resource sharing
PsLogList - dump event log records
PsService - view and control services
PsShutdown - shuts down and optionally reboots a computer
PsSuspend - suspend and resume processes

I've used their tools for some time, and they can bail you out. The PsLoglist works well for me for log archiving, like my SQL servers and IIS server.
There are also some tools in the W2K Resource Kit.
