If the Event logs are blank then the files may be corrupt.

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 %systemroot%\system32\config then set the
Event Log Service "Startup Type:" back to "Automatic", restart for effect.
