A "255 result code in the error log" sounds like the Synchronet even thread is running and its attempting to run the events. If you try to force an event to run, do you see new activity in the event thread log output or a new error?

I'm assuming the Tradewars maintence is a 16-bit DOS program. Do native 32-bit Windows events run okay? It'd be good to isolate which *kinds* of events you're having problems with. If only 16-bit DOS events are failing, then that would start to indicate a problem with NTVDM (assuming we're talking about a Windows version of Synchronet here) - is this a 32-bit Windows install or are you using NTVDMx64?

The pasted output of your event log would help too.
