can't see events in event viewer

when I looked at my event viewer this morning, they were all empty, but there
should be events there.
when I go in through RDP, click on system, events show up, but clicking on
application, then back to system they are gone?

Does the same behavior happen if you're doing it from the console of the
server? Because it may be a cosmetic behavior of RDP (Terminal Services).

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;

Thank you, I'll give that a shot. This did start happening after changing
the size and overwrite settings on the event logs.
