i was having some problems with crashes etc. so i decided to go in the
eventvwr...

heres the problem:

1. i have the choice between the 3. application : 15MB / system : 512
KB / security: 512 KB /
2. i take the second
3. i have a big list of blank lines with the windows icon, which
appear like empty events
4. i choose another log, empty
5. i go back to application, empty again

after that i can close and reopen the eventvwr and I can go back in
the same process

any ideas?
thanks

Your Event Viewer is corrupt and you need to delete it.

The event log stops logging events before reaching the maximum log size
