After enabling some auditing in the local security policy, when i now go to the event viewer and select the security logs, an error pops up and says: "The Event log file is corrupt" but i can still view the Application log and System log.. Then I cleared the security logs and restarted, logged in as admin again, opened event viewer, and then it would show the security log ok, but the application and system logs got "the event log file is corrupt" error =/ Can someone tell me why this may be happening?

Clear'em all and start with fresh logs. Don't save'em. Dave

Rename or Move corrupt file. Click the Start button, point to Settings, click Control Panel, and then double-click Services. Select the EventLog service and click Startup. Change the Startup Type to Disabled, and then click OK. If you are unable to log on to the computer but can access the registry remotely, you can change the Startup value in the following registry key to 0x4: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Eventlog Restart Windows. NOTE: When the system starts up, several services may fail; a message informing the user to use Event Viewer to review errors may appear. Rename or move the corrupt *.evt file from the following location: %SystemRoot%\System32\Config In Control Panel Services tool, re-enable the EventLog service by setting it back to the default of Automatic startup, or change the registry Startup value back to 0x2.
