No events listed in Event Viewer

No entries are being displayed in System or Application Event Viewer. The service, Event Log, is set to Automatic. What else do I need to check to ensure significant events get logged for review ?

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;
