I'm working on a case where I'd like to get time stamp info out of a
windows application event log (AppEvent.evt). 

If I copy the file to another windows box and open it via event viewer
I get the dreaded message about the file being corrupted. 

You might try;

1) Disable Event service on your Windows system
2) Reboot your Windows system (with Event service off)
3) Drop in the event log file(s) you're trying to view (copy your old
ones out somewhere first if you want them!!!)
4) Start Event service


Let us know if this works for you!
