Event log goes blank

[TechZorro]

When I go to the event log on my exchange server I can see the first few events then, if I brows arround, the list goes blank. Completely blank. I think I've narrowed down the problem to one of the services taking up to many resources (InetInfo.exe I think) but I have installed Service pack 3 for exchange and the problem is still there. Anyone have any ideas?

I've noticed the same issue recently with our Exchange 2000 server. Sorry that I don't have any solutions or ideas, but keep me in the loop.

Sounds like your event log size is too small and it is cousing the service to hang. Are you Logging\tracking mail messages? If you are, turn it off. You can increase the default size of your logs or set it to overwrite the logs as needed. HTH

I think that was it. I may have clicked past the notice once while in a hurry and thought, "It will remind me later." but it didn't. Clearing out the log seems to have solved the problem

Thanks
