The Event Log File is full

To me it sounds like:

  • It's happening because the event log is full.
  • Fix it by emptying the event log.

If this isn't the case, please edit your question to make it clear that you believe the event log isn't full, and how you came to this conclusion.


I had the same error on Windows XP using Visual C# 2010 Express and this is what worked for me:

Go to Start->Control Panel->Administrative Tools->Event Viewer

Then select Action->Properties and select "Overwrite Events as Needed"

You could also increase the maximum size of the log.


If you open the event viewer, right click on the event log in question and select "properties" you can see the event log size. You can make it larger or change the options below it to say "Overwrite events as needed".
