Check that you have the latest versions of both MRTG (you don't -- version 2.17 is available now) and the Win32::Eventlog module (use PPM to check for updates).  Which version of Perl are you using?  5.8, 5.10 and 5.12 had some differences that could cause problems in earlier versions of MRTG.

This error looks like a difference in the way MRTG is calling the function to the way the library has the function defined, probably due to their being difference major version numbers?

* Upgrade MRTG to latest version and try
* If this doesn’t work, try with a different version of Perl -- 5.10 or 5.8
