Event viewer now crashes if I attempt to sort by date or time.

[Guest Robbie Hatley]

Just yesterday, my Event Viewer starting crashing if I click on the

 

"Time" or "Date" headers. What could cause this? Hopefully the

 

program itself (mmc or it's event-viewer plugin) is not corrupt.

 

I'm hoping it's due to something else, like too much data

 

overflowing a buffer, or some needed service is stopped or disabled.

 

 

 

I see that Dr. Watson records these crashes. He says, for what

 

(if anything) it's worth:
