    You still might be able to clear the logs if the problem is corruption.
    Sometimes the error messages that you get are a bit deceptive and generic
    and may not actually be a permission problem. Did this just start happening
    suddenly? What is the operating system of the computer and domain controller
    if in a domain? Is this happening on just one domain computer, domain
    controller, or all? The link below may be pertinent. --- Steve
