How can I clear the event viewer and the other logs to see what my
system just started up with so I can try an correct it?
Thanks:

Rather than delete - why not just filter the list by creating a custom view?
Or use the Summary of Admin Events from last hour?

If you do want to delete (clear, or archive), see the MS Management Console
Help from which this text is extracted from...

Manage Event Logs

You can use Event Viewer to manage various aspects of your event logs. To do
so, you typically: navigate to and select the event log to manage,
right-click and select Properties to access its properties dialog, and then
update the appropriate values.

You can perform the following log management tasks by using Event Viewer:

Clear an Event Log


Set Maximum Log Size


Set Log Retention Policy


Enable Analytic and Debug Logs


Archive an Event Log


You can also use the wevtutil.exe command line tool to manage your event
logs. Where applicable, the preceding topics include information about how
to accomplish the task from the command line. To learn more about the
wevtutil.exe command-line tool, type wevtutil /? at a command prompt.

Thanks Mac:
I just wanted to make a clean start since I finally got everything
setup the way I think it should be. I found the "Clear Log" button and
got it cleaned. Now I can see what is going on from the start.
Thanks Again for thr reply.

Blue Angel left the room June 25, 2007 (that's LAST year, in case
you're wondering) and has never returned.
