Ken
I'm not sure where you're based, but if you can give me a call and I can walk you through this.
The alert log is located in a platform specific location. From memory you're on NT, so the alert log will be located under %ORACLE_HOME%\rdsbms80\trace (again, going from memory) and it will be called something like alertorcl.log, where orcl is your database sid. This file is opened when the instance is started, and contains general information about what's happening in the database. It's a good starting point to look for errors, which you then may need to track through other trace files as well.
