Re: Event Viewer Problem - Security section

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

My machine is not in a domain
and my account is a local administrator.
In the local security settings,
the 'manage auditing and security log' is set with 'Administrators'.

Recently i've installed some log analyzers and made a windows update.
Could it be one of them the reason of my problem?

Thanks
Stefan
