Jills2000 Posted August 3, 2005 Report Share Posted August 3, 2005 Hi,While trying to troubleshoot another install I was introduced to "Event Viewer". The only problem is that my "Event Viewer" also does not appear to work properly. Events seem to be logged, however when I double-click on individual records nothing happens (ie, they don't open). What's more, when I right-click on an event log and select 'properties' the dialogue box just says "No properties are available for this object".Does anybody know why this might be happening? Is it possible that some files on my system have been corrupted?If anybody could shed any light at all I would really appreciate it!Thanks in advance,Jill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarecrow Man Posted August 3, 2005 Report Share Posted August 3, 2005 If your system files are corrupted, they can be fixed by typing the following into command prompt.Start > Runsfc /scannowYou will need to supply your Windows disk.for 98 just use sfc.exe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jills2000 Posted August 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2005 Thanks for the suggestion.Actually, I just read somewhere that somebody was able to get around this problem by stopping MMC and restarting it. Does anyone know how to do this? I can't see it in the "Services" console. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarecrow Man Posted August 4, 2005 Report Share Posted August 4, 2005 MMC is not a service. MMCI don't think it can be stopped.I'd do sfc /scannow anyways. Can you export the events? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
