"Event Log" service missing

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.perform_maintain (More info?)

The normal Event Log service is missing.

In other words when I look at Services there is no Event Log
service

I discovered this when I went to view the event log.

The Event Viewer will give an "Interface Unknown" when clicking on
Application, Security, or System

Does anyone know how to fix this?

Check for the existence of this key. If not found create a *.reg file from
another machine and import.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Eventlog

The Event Log Service is not started. Most likely it is disabled.

1) Right Click on My Computer and Click Manage
2) Click Services in the Left Pane
3) Scroll down to Event Log and double click
4) Change the Startup type to Automatic
5) Click OK
(The Event Log service will not allow you to manually start it, so you
must reboot the computer for this to take effect)

After your computer boots back up you should be able to access the
event logs.

Hope This Helps

Brilliant - that worked

Exported EventLog Key from laptop
Imported to Broken Machine

Everything works.

Deeply appreciated.

I found this same issue with others when Googling
No one could provide a fix

I will respond to their issues with your suggested fix with
credit to you.

Thanks again
