Done that. Thanks for your help.
Where do I find the log file. I'm using Linux.

did you even read the link Martijn gave you?
edit: you are running the open source nouveau driver, which doesn't work. Install proper nvidia binary drivers.
sudo apt-get install nvidia-current

No reason for that attitude wsnipex. Of course I read it but it wasn't clear to me which is why I asked the question. Please do not reply if you can't be supportive.
With regard to the nvidia binary drivers - Why would the drivers I have suddenly cause a problem? My XBMC system has been working fine for months and months!
However I will of course try your suggestion.

Why the attitude wsnipix. Forums are a place to share and give help aren't they?
Anyway, I tried your suggestion now XBMC doesn't load at all, I get an alert telling me "XBMC needs hardware accelerated OpenGL rendering"
Can anyone tell me how I rectify this.
Update: Ignore the above.
I reinstalled my drivers and did a reboot my screen is now in a higher resolution (for some strange reason) and I'm back to square one with XBMC. i.e. it crashes on startup.
I still need help finding the log file, any help would be much appreciated.
