SYMPTOMS

When you view an event log from the bottom up (from the oldest entry to the most recent entry), the five hundredth line from the bottom may appear incorrectly. Instead of the correct entry, the oldest (last) entry is shown again. However, if you open this entry, the correct data appears in the event properties. Only the entry in the ListView control is incorrect.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, view the event log from the top to the bottom. You can also refresh or resort the event log to clear the incorrect entry.
