Maybe it is a problem with registry key permissions or the permissions for
the .evt files for those logs. Check to see that you are in a group that has
permissions to them. The link below will show what registry keys to check
and compare the permissions to what is shown for the security log that you
can access. If you are trying to access the logs remotely try logging on
locally to a domain controller to see if that makes a difference.--- Steve
