Hi,
There has been a rash of this happening lately. Suspect it has something to do
with Updates, but not sure. In most cases deleting the files cures the problem.
First the Event log in Services is disabled and a restart, before deleting. I
just did a search for *.evt and the three, sysevent.evt, secevent.evt, and
appevent.evt popped right up and deleted them there, reset the Event log back to
Automatic, rebooted, went ahead and defragged. Good til next time.
Haven't had the opportunity to say, Hi in a while; hope all is good (not just
well), and "HI".
;o)

I saw that happen once on a W2k Pro PC and was never for the life of me able
to figure out why. I exported the "empty" event logs to .evt files, cleared
all logs, and the problem disappeared. On a server I would've been more
nervous about it, but it may be a fix for you....
