IIS and event viewer

[ed]

Hi,

I had a problem on my web server - the sites stopped
working, I checked the eventviewer but there were no
problems, I was unable to list the events in the
application log of eventviewer even though it said there
were over 2,000 events. The logs were set to overwrite as
needed, but when I manually cleared the logs the web sites
came back.

any ideas??

1.) Nothing to do with the operating system. Ask in inetserver.iis

2.) The temporary fix;
You might try changing the file properties to "Overwrite as needed"

Else; 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;
