The location depends on your operating system, but is documented on the wiki on 'Finding Log Files <https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Finding_Log_Files>' and 'Debug Help > Where do I find my SecondLife.log file? <https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Debug_Help#Where_do_I_find_my_SecondLife.log_file.3F>'.

Even more, i don't wanna have to never use SL again! Please /do/ consider using a more recent viewer. Snowglobe hasn't gotten security updates for a long time. (Still better than SL Viewer 1.23, though.) There are third party viewers that preserved the look and feel of Snowglobe while keeping up-to-date with relation to the Second Life protocols and security concerns. > [...] i thought of just reinstalling Snowglobe, but i have v1.5 & i can't > find a place to download that version, and i either didn't save (typical) > or can't find (even more typical) the installation package i used to begin > with. :-( I don't think Snowglobe 1.5 has ever been released: There were probably only ever development snapshots with that version number. Links can be found in the history <https://wiki.secondlife.com/w/index.php?title=Snowglobe&oldid=1147019> of the 'Snowglobe' wiki page. They've been removed from the current page to avoid new Residents stumbling across them and using Snowglobe without knowing that it is outdated software.

Your idea to look at the logs is good, so do that before you do anything else. Other things that you might want to try are re-installing graphics drivers or re-installing/repair-installing the operating system. (Backup your data before doing the latter!) Cheers, Boroondas
