    Event log service is unavailable

    My os is Vista and I am logged on as administrator. Went to access Diskeeper
    to manually defragment and recieved a message that said "Diskeeper failed to
    connect to the service. The service may have stopped. See the Windows Event
    Log for more details." I then went to open the Event Log and it said "Event
    log service is unavailable. Verify that th service is running"... so I went
    to services and eventhough Windows Event Log is set to automatic, it was not
    running. I clicked to start the service and got back a message that said
    that the service could not be started "Error 2:The system cannot find the
    specified file." The path to this service was shown to be
    "C:\Windows\System32\svchost.exe -k LocalServiceNetworkRestricted" so I went
    to the system32 folder in windows and I have a file named svchost.exe so I
    don't know if the LocalServiceNetworkRestricted has anything to do with this.

    Someone please help!

    Re: Event log service is unavailable

    The Image Path value you posted is correct. Running the SFC command might help. See:

    Some Windows Vista functions may not work, or Windows Vista may stop responding:

    Re: Event log service is unavailable

    Yes I have turned off services that I did not need but not prior to this
    happening. Everything was OK and working a few days prior to this. Have no
    idea what caused it..

    This is some type of printer file and unfortunately has nothing to do with
    my problem. I tried starting the service again after using the system file
    checker tool but still no results.

    Thanks for your help anyway. :0)

    Susa804

    I have exactly the same problem as you right down to the way it was
    discovered using Diskeeper. I have tried everything listed here as
    suggested by other investigation and I am afraid still nothing.
    Currently working with experts exchange to try and find an answer....

    So far no one seems to be able to assit. Strange then that it has
    happened the same way on mutally exclusive machines.

    Hi BGR,

    Have you checked the link I posted earlier? It says to verify if the "logs" folder is present and if it's writable.

    Ramesh..

    Yes have checked and the permissions are OK.....even changed them to
    FULL CONTROL to double check. have even moved the log folder just to
    se if Vista recreated it. Nothing. BTW my System Restore is also
    corrupt and unable to run. I have a feeling it is all inter-related.

    Hi Bgr,

    Perhaps we can work on this issue offline, if you can send me a PM.

    Re: Event log service is unavailable


    I have found the solution myself via the net. The problem was caused
    by JV16 Powertools 2008 by Macecraft. It is a bug in their software.

    Installation of the software apparently adds registry keys of which
    some are empty. There may be many issues but the key that affects the
    event log services is listed below. Removal of this key and a re-boot
    should correct the problem. As always take a backup of your registry
    before making any changes.

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Eventlog
    \Parameters

    Re: Event log service is unavailable

    I had the same problem all i did was : Run safe mode for networking,
    Start, All Programs, Accessories, System
    Tools, System Restore and pick the time that your computer was last working perfectly and then restart normally and that should work. I used that on my windows 7 so it might be a little different with other os'
