Hi, any help please we have a server that is still windows 2000. When I do
my event viewer checking every morning on the server the Application log
shows icons but no information. It has always worked but about 5 days ago it
stopped. The sytem and security log show details. After clicking on the
Application log if you then select security or system it displays nothing.
Can the event viewer log get corrupted.
thanks
Kath

The temporary fix;
You might try changing the file properties to "Overwrite as needed"

Then; Control Panel|Administrative Tools|Services|Event Log Service|General,
set the "Startup Type:" to "Disabled" restart the pc, then delete (or move)
the corrupt *.evt file(s) from %windir%\system32\config then set the Event
Log Service "Startup Type:" back to "Automatic", restart for effect.

The more permanent fix;
