Event Viewer - can not see list of events when open Event Viewer

[Guest KDub]

Has anyone ever experienced a problem when opening Event Viewer and clicking

on Application log, where the right-hand pane never shows the list of

events?? This also seems to happen on the System log.

 

If I click on the Security log the list will propagate if I click the

refresh button but if I try refresh on the other two logs nothing happens. It

looks like the log is propagating because the scroll bar gets small (like its

collecting data and "wants" to show it) but the screen doesn't refresh.

 

I'm presently having this problem on a Windows 2000 box, I've seen this on a

Windows 2003 box before but can't recall what the fix was.

 

Any ideas, comments, suggestions are appreciated

The event viewer file may be damaged. This search result may help.

 

event viewer display no informationIf I open Event Viewer, click Application

or System, there is not information on the left panel. It is empty. These

are what I did. ...
