Just changed my GFX card. Can't log into second life. When I try to log on it does this. http://tinypic.com/r/kby4vb/5  . I'm using Windows 7 and I have a ATI Radeon HD 4650 GFX card. I've updated the drivers. Help if you can. Please and thank you in advance.

You may need to manually delete your settings file

look in C:\Users\YOUR USER NAME\AppsData\Romaing\SecondLife\user_settings\ and delete the settings.xml file (take a backup in another folder if you like) . Start your viewer.

If that doesn't work. I would recommend a reinstall of the viewer

Uninstall normally then manually remove the hidden Second Life folders in AppData.

Enable Hidden Files & Folders:

1) Open Control Panel
2) Open “Folder Options”
3) Open the “View” tab
4) Check “Show hidden files, folders, and drives”

Press OK and close control panel.

Accessing AppData:

Browse to the path below that corresponds to your operating system:

Windows XP - C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\

Windows Vista - C:\Users\<username>\AppData\

Windows Vista Home Premium - C:\Users\<username>\AppData\

Windows 7 - C:\Users\<username>\AppData\ 

Inside the AppData folder:

1) Open the Local folder and delete the entire Second Life folder.

2) Go back one level to the AppData folder.

3) Open the Roaming folder and delete the entire Second Life folder. If you wish to save existing chat files you've had with other avatars, move the Roaming > [avatar name] folder elsewhere on your computer and drag any chat text files you wish to retain into the new Roaming > [avatar name] folder once Second Life is reinstalled and you've logged in at least once. Ignore if you don't want to save any.

4) Restart your computer.

Now download a fresh copy of Second Life and install it.
