| Win7x64 | Re: HELP need to solve this problem asap - Unable to start event viewer/event log ser Fire up regedit and find this key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Eventlog With "Eventlog" highlighted on the left pane, you should be able to see a value called "ImagePath" on the right. ImagePath should be equal to this: %SystemRoot%\System32\svchost.exe -k LocalServiceNetworkRestricted If you can't see "ImagePath" in that location, or if it's not set to the text above, that's almost certainly your problem. If you're in the habit of using "registry cleaners", that might be the cause. |
