Event Viewer Problem with Windows XP Pro

by herrmag Feb 9, 2004 2:08AM PST

Everytime I try to save the Security audit records on the Event Viewer, it freezes up and gives me the good old "send report to Microsoft?". Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance for any help!

What happens?

Remember to do this as an Administrator too.

I tried it in safe mode, and their were no problems. It saved normally, so I know it must be one of the settings; but which one? Something in the local security policy?

SAFE MODE. works...

I would not know which setting you or some malware may have changed. The Event Viewer itself may yield the clue with an EventID at the time of the failure.
