Application log says it has 1926 entries but nothing shows up.
Nothing in the the system, dns or file replication logs either but they
actually say there are 0 events.
This seems to happen what I clear the log entries. and has happenned quite a
few times.
I can't restart the service since so much depends on it. I could restart the
server but the real question is:
What causes this?
 
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;

It was set as "overwrite as needed" but I just wanted to clear them after a
bunch of work. Thanks for the link, I'm all over it.
