Have you got SP4 on this machine? I ask because there is a bug in the
eventvwr.dll which prevents the eventlog entries from displaying correctly.
It emerged on our machines after we deployed this SP. Don't think there is
a fix yet but if you have a look at the microsoft newsgroups there are a few
suggestions there on how to correct the problem.
