Copying a file being used

I'm attempting to copy a log file from Windows
Event Log that is in c:\windows\system32\config
directory. The problem is that at the moment i
do that (using File.Copy method), the file is
used by Windows and i get errors.

How can i copy the file (or at least read from
it) without stopping the service that is being
logged in it?

I've read that there's a facility to retrieve
the data from event files called WEvtUtil.exe
but it's available for Vista only.
