Log writting Exception thrown by a WebService

I have deployed a third part webservice on my webserver, this service throw its errors to the windows error viewer, but those error has never been wroten, the webservice shows this error: Cannot open log for source {0}. You may not have write access, I've checked out the Error log configuration in the error viewer and I've asigned full permission to the EVERYONE user group on the log file folder. the error still been appearing, I don’t understand why, if somebody had been working arround somthing like this and wants to gives me a hand on this will be nice.

    There is more to event log security than what you did.

    See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/323076

    I would also contact the third party vendor and get their recommended solution.

    If the log in question is on a network share, there may be other issues as well.

    Yep, there was another issue, the machine.config in the web server was configured tu run the process with the machine account, this account wasn't abble to write in the log file, I was working around the web.config file but the problem wasn't there, I have changed these parmeter to SYSTEM account and the issue is solved.
