event viewer (application) not recording anything

[Guest jbclem]

I'm trying to figure out why my computer is locking up occasionally and I

was hoping to spot some error in the Event Viewer (application). In the

past there has always been a long list of application events. Now there is

nothing there, even after I refresh it.

 

Looking at the Event Viewer (system) there is also nothing showing, but when

I refresh it the listings show up like they should.

 

Could there be a corruption in the Event Viewer system, and how could I fix

this if it is.

The Event Log service may not be running or the files may be corrupt.

 

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 %systemroot%\system32\config then set the Event

Log Service "Startup Type:" back to "Automatic", restart for effect.

RE: event viewer (application) not recording anything

 

Hello All,

 

Looks like I have the same problem as was described above. I’m not sure is

it really the same problem or not. What I have is the items in the list for

“Application” are not displayed, but exist. It means that the list is empty,

but I can see total number of events in the header of the frame. I can select

empty event, but I’m receiving the following error while I’m double clicking

it:

AppName: mmc.exe AppVer: 5.2.3790.3959 ModName: ntdll.dll

ModVer: 5.2.3790.3959 Offset: 0000b536

 

By the way, other items like Security, DNS etc. working perfect.

 

I’ve tried to stop Event logging process and deleted all event logs located

in %systemroot%/system32/config. This did not solve the problem. Any ideas so

far?

 

Thank you in advance,

Vladimir
