If you attempt to save the Event Log as part of the Clear All Events
procedure, and select a network drive as the destination, you will receive
an access denied error message.
WORKAROUND
Instead of saving the Event Log as part of the Clear All Events procedure,
use Save As from the Log menu to save the Event Log, and then use Clear
All Events to delete the events without using the save option.
Alternatively, on a computer running Windows NT 3.51, replace the
Eventlog.dll file installed by Service Pack 5 with the Eventlog.dll file
from Service Pack 4 and restart the computer to resolve the problem. This
procedure can be accomplished by the following steps:
- In the SYSTEM32 directory, rename the Eventlog.dll file to
Eventlog.sp5.
- Copy the Eventlog.dll file from Service Pack 4 to the SYSTEM32
directory.
- Shut down and restart the computer.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT version 3.51
and 4.0.
