I have checked the Application log in the event viewer but nothing in there... please help!

Since you are logging to the Windows Event Log, the event source must be registered with the operating system before you can successfully log using it. Normally the .NET framework will automatically create event sources the first time you use them, but creating event sources requires administrator privileges. You can run the app as admin once and get it registered or search MSDN for "registering event sources".
