Windows 2008 Event Viewer service won't start - Error 5: Access is denied

I can't start my event viewer in Windows 2008 to look at errors. I get a Windows could not start the Windows Event logs service Error 5: Access is denied.
Someone changed a GPO on the server, and they don't remember what they changed. So now it won't start.
Suggestions on what settings to look at?

First of all there is not NT Service object, there is a Network Service. Is that what you mean?
Also, the properties on the services account for the Windows Event Log is greyed out. I can't make changes??
All permissions have been assigned.
can u post screenshot how it is looks like?
