empty application event viewer

The application event viewer appears empty on my Windows
2000 server, however the log file can be saved so
something is there. How can I make the items appear in
the application event viewer ?

Refresh doesn't work. Nothing is being filtered.

Thank you!

The temporary fix;
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 %windir%\system32\config then set the Event
Log Service "Startup Type:" back to "Automatic", restart for effect.

The more permanent fix;
