Problems with event viewer & system health report

[Marty79]

Hi All

New to vista and seem to have 2 problems;


1. when trying to run event viewer I receive the following error message; event log service is unavailable. verify that the servie is running.

2. When trying to run a system health report nothing happens but the following error message;
an error occured while attempting to generate a report. the interface is unknown.

any advice on how to fix?

thanks in advance
Martin

Start -> Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Services

See if "Windows Event Log" service is started.

If not right click and select properties.

Select start and see if it throws any errors.

Can you be more specific with your second error message? Exact wording
