Hi friends...I have a problem with the EventViewer. When I try to view
the different logs I can't see anything. If I press the refresh button I
can load the messages and the window shows me the quantity of for the
type of log...but I cant see them.The messages are in the window showed
by EventViewer...I can select them, appears the tipical blue bar line
but I can't see any word, letter o image. It's like the color of
messages were equals to the background color. Of course, if I try to
read the same log connected from another server I haven't problems.

thanks for any help

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;
