First of all... Error messages are often quite informational. Supplying that error message is a good (no, really... it's mandatory) idea when you're asking questions about your problem on any forum.

Anywho, you're talking about two completely different commands. New-EventLog and Get-EventLog. For the latter, the parameter -Newest expects an integer and not a string. "applicationlog" is a string.

And finally, PowerShell 1.. really? What, where, when, how, why? :)
