VirtualBox GUI just likes to crash

Often when I'm just using the GUI, it just crashes randomly. Where can I find the vbox log so I can provide more info? It happens mainly when I'm looking at vm settings.

Start up VirtualBox, but do not start any VMs. Click on the Machine menu and drag down to Show Log... then let go.

The whole drag thing isn't needed.... And the log is for the current highlighted vm. Isn't there a log for VB overall?

Just the logs you see there. Since you say VB is crashing, you could also open Console and check the CrashReporter logs to see if there's anything about VB crashing in there.

Well whaddya know, I located some crash files saved by the OS. All the files in there were about VB crashes.... Nice.

Here's the latest one. I just changed the file extension to .txt so I could upload the file (original was .crash)
