winxp event viewer problem

[dhawald]

i have winxp sp2 installed
the system events in the event viewer somehow have stopped
it says the event log service was stopped

but the application events in the event viewer are running(are being updated).

how do i start the system events logging again.

[thadhanihemant]

in run dialog box type

services.msc
here u will find many services
look for "event log"service
then start the service
this might help u

forgot 1 thing if event log service is disabled or manual
then set it to automatic
