"Event Log" missing in Services

Hello,

My Event Viewer isn't working, the problem is identical to an old
thread on this newsgroup, i am pasting that conversation here:

The normal Event Log service is missing.


In other words when I look at Services there is no Event Log
service

I discovered this when I went to view the event log.

The Event Viewer will give an "Interface Unknown" when clicking on
Application, Security, or System

Does anyone know how to fix this?

Check for the existence of this key. If not found create a *.reg file
from
another machine and import.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Eventlog

Back to present.... i checked my registry and there is an EventLog
entry in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services
\EventLog. The first line in ACEEventLog,Internet
Explorer,Sercurity,SLEvtLog,System are identical, Name=ab(Default)
Data=(value not set). Under Application it is Name=ab(Default)
Data=mnmsrvc.

Also, how do i export EventLog Key from another system? I know how to
import a reg file. Any advice/help appreciated. Thanks Jimmy

I found how to export a registry key online. I am running XP Home
Edition, will any machine with XP Home Edition work as a source for
the EventLog key. Thanks in advance, jimmy
