Re: Event log file corrupt

Hello,
Seems to be working ok, its logging events. I was overclocking the front
side bus and windows demanded a disk check...i think i damaged some files.
So far the only problem apparent is the event log...

Hi

That will clear the Event Log, but it may not stop becoming corrupted
again.

Nevermind. I googled and found the answer. right click in the event log
pane and select "clear event log".

sorry

In the event log under "system" I get the error that the event log file
is corrupt and no events are listed. how do I fix that?
