I have nothing appearing in my event viewer. At the very
least, I should have "print" entries, but there is
nothing on any of my logs. I need to view/access it. It
is almost like nothing is being recorded.

Help! What should I do/change to get those logs
happening?

Thanks in advance.
 
Hi Darin,

Your Event log ifles are probably corrupted by an infection, or an update or
hotpatches

Delete present Application, Security, and System Event log files
Delete - Go to: Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services > Event Log
Service > General
Set the "Startup Type:" to "Disabled"
Restart the pc
Delete the corrupt *.evt file(s) (Application,Security, and/or
System)
located: %windir%\system32\config (like
C:\winnt\system32\config\ (i.e. System.evt)
Reset the Event Log Service "Startup Type:" back to "Automatic"
Restart to take effect.
