You have an alert log
Otherwise
a) you have a faulty installation
b) you never even opened any of the manuals

The alert log is in the directory pointed to by the background_dump_dest parameter
If you didn't set it explicity in init<sid>.ora on NT it is in \oracle\admin\<YOURSID>\bdump on Unix I'm not too sure whether or not it is still in $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/log
