Problems viewing the event logs?

[GuySmiley]

Hi,

I've noticed over the past few months that I often run into problems viewing even logs on all of the machines in my domain - especially the application logs for some reason. For instance, when I first open the app log everything appears to be fine, but if I hit F5 to refresh the logs, it shows up blank and says "0 events" at the top. After that, I have to close out of the event viewer completely and even then, it sometimes doesn't come back up when it is reopened.

Has anyone else run into similar behavior? My suspicion is that this is somehow related to a service pack or hotfix that was applied within the past few months...

This is indeed related to W2K SP4. It's a problem with eventlog.dll

You'll need to call Microsoft to get the fix. More info at
