event viewer cannot view items

[fegume]

Hello, My Windows 2000 pro Sp4, when I open Event Viewer y clic on
items, don´t open it. If I save this event in file and open on other
computer, I don´t have any problem, but if I open on my computer
cannot open.

Why?.

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;

Hi Fegume,

This may indicate log file corruption.
Could we please verify if the file Eventlog.dll is at this version.

If your file version is older I would recommend that you call Microsoft to

Mark,
Just curios as to why you're favoring 842394 over 829246 given the symptoms?
