Basically the way I've always done it was by Googling the event ID or checking the MS KB. Sometimes event log errors can be clear as daylight and other times you can spend days trying to figure it out. No magic potion here.
Editing the registry is not a task taken heartily. Always backup the registry before modifying it.

EventID will give you a list of event error codes and some more details on the errors. Also, you can search the error code on the Microsoft Knowledge Base with the event error code for more data.
