Event Viewer (system log) not displaying any events...

B

Brad Pears

We are running Windows 2000 SP4 on one of our servers. FOr some reason this
server is not showing the events being logged in the "system" log! If I
clear the log file, no problem, I will start to see the events. However
currently the "system log" is showing a total # of events present of 2,659
when refreshed, but does not list the actual events! The view pane is
blank!

Thsi happens all the time. Is this a known issue? If so, is there a fix?

Thanks,

Brad

You could try to download EventSentry Light (freeware) from
http://www.netikus.net which has a built-in event viewer. It might work
better OR give you a better error message. Or you can look for other tools
out there that display the event log to rule out whether it's a problem with
MS event viewer or the actual event log.
