Event Viewer refresh

[Carl Brault]

Hello to you all,

I have a W2k server that got a problem with the event
viewer. I open it and click on one of the log (system for
exemple) and it is empty. It is not true cause I see in
the bar that there is 300 items. So I click F5 to refresh
and everything appears. How come do I have to refresh it
to see it.

Thanks in advance.

Carl

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;
