On a Microsoft Windows 2000 SP4-based computer, the event logs may become corrupted.

[Guest]

Hello
I have a Microsoft Windows 2000 SP4-based computer, and my event logs may become corrupted. Basically I can't open it and when I click on it, it just shows 0 kb. When I refresh it, it tells the right size where it's supposed to be. Do you have any idea how to fix it?

thanks

If this is caused by corrupted logs, boot the recovery console and delete the
..evt files.

When you restart normally, the logs will be rebuilt.
