I'm in Second Life for more than a year and I tell you that you DON'T
have any problem with your machine or internet conection. Second Life is
updating from time to time and you need to be patient. Anyway, put the
latest audio&video drivers and reinstall SL, if the problem persists.

Now, for those of you who have Vista Ultimate 64 and play SL, please
tell me how do you describe your graphic experience? I have a good dual
core Intel, nVidia 8800 GTX and I just make the step from a very stable
and smooth XP64 to a very unstable and problem making Ultimate Vista64.
Thanks to this forum, some of the problems were solved , but others
still remains. I put the latest drivers, I updated Vista to SP1 (and
Ultimate Extras and updates are working daily) but I belive that Second
Life is not compatible yet with my windows.

First of all, the graphic really sux. On the late XP64, I played with
all the options at full and very high (from resolution to details etc).
The game was running very, very smooth and was an enjoyable experience.
Now, with Ultimate Vista 64, there is NO screen difference between the
resolutions and details - you may put them at low or at high, you will
see same very poor and low graphic. Also from time to time, the game
freeze and Windows give me a message that I don't have enough memory
which is so very stupid as I have plenty of memory... The
strangest part is that eye-candy nextgen games like Crysis, The Witcher
or Jade Empire are working perectly on my PC...
