Anyone seen event viewer do this before?

[dwojt]

When I look at at event the event view System Log the
screen is blank even though it says that there are 2,347
events.

The other logs will also show a blank screen with 0 events
but if I refresh then numerous events show up.

No matter how many time I refresh on the System Log I
cannot see the events.

If I export the events and copy them to another computer
then I can see the events.

I have never seen this behavior before, anyone else?

TIA

The temporary fix;
You might try changing the file properties to "Overwrite as needed"

Then; Control Panel|Administrative Tools|Services|Event Log Service|General,
set the "Startup Type:" to "Disabled" restart the pc, then delete (or move)
the corrupt *.evt file(s) from %windir%\system32\config then set the Event
Log Service "Startup Type:" back to "Automatic", restart for effect.

The more permanent fix;
