new computer logging is turned off

My old computer had a stroke and died, taking my newsbin files with it.
I got things sorta back to normal but, logging just does the 4 startup notes and nothing after, is there a switch for this?
when I run newsbin wide open the mouse stutters, should I be looking elsewhere?
