c++ filechange

Hi!

There's a file, what stores events. I don't know how can it be, but when the software (what makes this file) write a new event to the file, the file last write date is not changing and the size is fix (fill with x00).
I try to watch the file with FindFirstChangeNotification and WaitForSingleObject but it doesn't works.
How can i catch someway the changing of this file??

Are you using the FILE_NOTIFY_CHANGE_LAST_WRITE parameter?

Is the software closing the file after it writes. The notification will not occur I think unless the file gets closed.

Yes. I'm using the FILE_NOTIFY_CHANGE_LAST_WRITE parameter. I tried all the parameters.

If the sw doesn't close the file, then what can i do?
