spootnack Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 Hello."Main one" = "System" ?If yes, did you try to open your events viewer with an admin session or a LUA ? Try to open with right click, "Run as Administrator".++ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HX1 Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 Are you talking about the cumulative logs that show when you first start the event viewer? Try this.. Run as Administrator should clear all logs... Clear all logs.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HX1 Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 Well I just did it and because of the way I did it ( like an idiot.. ) I am not for sure which one deleted it.. but its either from the Clear All Log.bat file I created from the link above.. or from clearing the files which is mention in the post right before this..

*dcs18 Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 @ heath28Yeah LOL, I can understand.@ csmdewWhichever method you employ, would just like to remind you that very often the 'Refresh' button (to the right hand side of the console snap-in) does not always work. So, to view the end result one needs to close the console down and then re-open it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HX1 Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 Here is a link to the BAT file which I made and uploaded quite awhile back.. Just extract and Run as Admin.. I keep mine in my Program Files Directory.. http://www.nsaneforums.com/index.php?app=core&module=attach§ion=attach&attach_rel_module=post&attach_id=2817 But .. I would run a Disk Cleanup and remove all logs... make sure you restart the Event Viewer too.. and if this does not work I know of one more thing to do ... possibly but I have to look into it.. There is a file inside the Panther Folder in Windows.. called setup.etl.. occasionally I have read and seen that in my system.. as well.. A few errors can be cleared from the logs by renaming this file and allowing the system to create a new one... This was something else I had done recently...on the system in question because of a Circular Kernel.... error logged.. which also has something to do with Profile Switching and IPv6..

It is always the same ones, mainly to do with live msgr media stack not loading and something to do with my usb port; so I'll try to fix them if they come back up.
