Error with Event Viewer

Im getting this error when I start up Event Viewer:

Quote:
Event Log service is unavailable. Verfy that the service is running.
Which service[s] do I need to check to get it working again?

Re: Error with Event Viewer

In my case taking ownership of c:\windows\logs and c:\windows\system32\logfiles\ resolved the issue.

Thanks for the help
