I would assume not.

Hmm... I shouldn't make assumptions. Assumptions bad.

Ok. Lets test it out.

Oh damn. It looks like my log file expanded from 64kb to 512kb. I now 
wonder if I pushed "Ok" or "Cancel" on the dialog box yesterday...


Anyway, the facts are:

* The size of the log file grew.
* I didn't clear the log file.
* It doesn't crash any more.


This is pure speculation:

* When I pushed OK on the dialog box yesterday, it expanded the file 
size to the size specified in the control, which I assumed was the 
current size.

* The problem with logging events was because the current size of 64kb 
was being exceeded.

* For some reason the "Overwrite events older then 7 days" was not 
working, as many events look older then 7 days. Or maybe, like the size 
setting it wasn't really the current value until after I pushed OK.


It looks like I can't reduce the size of the log now without clearing 
the log either.
