I'm trying to figure out why my computer is locking up occasionally and I
was hoping to spot some error in the Event Viewer (application). In the
past there has always been a long list of application events. Now there is
nothing there, even after I refresh it.
Looking at the Event Viewer (system) there is also nothing showing, but when
I refresh it the listings show up like they should.
Could there be a corruption in the Event Viewer system, and how could I fix
this if it is.

The Event Log service may not be running or the files may be corrupt.
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 %systemroot%\system32\config then set the Event
Log Service "Startup Type:" back to "Automatic", restart for effect.

Hello All,
Looks like I have the same problem as was described above. I’m not sure is
it really the same problem or not. What I have is the items in the list for
“Application” are not displayed, but exist. It means that the list is empty,
but I can see total number of events in the header of the frame. I can select
empty event, but I’m receiving the following error while I’m double clicking
it:
AppName: mmc.exe AppVer: 5.2.3790.3959 ModName: ntdll.dll
ModVer: 5.2.3790.3959 Offset: 0000b536
By the way, other items like Security, DNS etc. working perfect.
I’ve tried to stop Event logging process and deleted all event logs located
in %systemroot%/system32/config. This did not solve the problem. Any ideas so
far?
Thank you in advance,
Vladimir |
