    Rename the file.

    I just put a ## on the end of the file name.

    change the file name EQlog_zam_bertox to EQlog_zamold_bertox ..
    or just cut/paste it into another directory for saved files and a new one should repopulate
    A new log with the correct character name will take its place you might have to do /log on again for it to take affect

    I just move mine to a sub folder, it then automatically creates a new one the next time I log in.

    One more possible answer. OP stated "it wasn't changing", which I think means the old log he had in place wasn't logging current sessions to begin with. So, moving it (to create a new log file) wouldn't help, it still wouldn't log new sessions.

    The answer to that one is, for OLD installs of EQ, where it put the files under Windows/Program Files, it won't log (or save layout files, etc) unless you kick it off with a right click and select "Run as Administrator". New installs of EQ are put elsewhere, so this isn't needed.

    Perhaps this is the issue the OP is seeing?
