Error 2
If you have the above error (Cannot find the file specified) when trying to start the windows event log, then have no fear, for I may have the solution. If you have tried everything else online, then try this fix. Open up regedit, and delete the following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\eventlog\Parameters
Basically, a hotfix (not sure which) malforms that registry key, rendering the event log useless.
