HELP!!!

The PC seemed to be working ok(ish) or so I thought. Just went into Event Viewer to look at the event log and it's telling me it's corrupt!!!

How do I remedy this?

crossloop works very well for remotely accessing another PC , simple interface makes it good for a novice at the other end

Its telling you WHATS corrupt exactly?

HUFCsteve

When I click on Event Viewer - System, a red cross dialogue box comes up saying "The event log file is corrupt"

Am I at risk of screwing my PC up here?

aliEnRIK

well if your going to do it ~ ud better make sure you do it EXACTLY right

If ur not confident then just leave alone (not like the event viewer is NEEDED to run the computer)

When I've used CCleaner and sorted Registry issues, it asks me to save a backup. 1) Should I try restoring this backup first and 2) Should I refrain from using the registry cleaning parts in future?!?

aliEnRIK

You should be BACKING them up when it asks. Personally I only use the registry clean bit about once every 6 months

HUFCsteve

Have backed them up as prompted. Question is should I restore this file instead (and if so, how).

Thanks!
