In news:9C3FCC58-4097-41AF-A957-1A027E45F24F@xxxxxxxxxxxxx,
Ben Knox <BenKnox@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> hunted and pecked:
Is there anyway to repair a corrupt Security Event Log? I need to see the
events in the log, so simply clearing isn't really an option at this
point. I recieve the message "Log File is Corrupt" when I attempt to open
it up in the Event Viewer.

Thanks for any help
