How to fix SysEvent.Evt File

[Guest]

Hi there,

My computer was crash by something unknow,when i wanna to see the event
log,it was been murder...So i copy the SysEvent.Evt from the
\%systemRoot%\..\config\
and using Notepad to open it, but i just can see some event in the log
file.and all of it is just like disorderly char...

Did some Super Person here knows how to read that SysEvent.Evt file in
normally?

P.S.
I cann't open it by windows EventLog.

You can't read those logs with notepad. You might be able to read them by
copying them to another computer and using Event Viewer on that computer to
view them or you can use tools that can dump the log such as the free
PsLogList from SysInternals/Microsoft.
