When your viewer crashes on VFS the problem is that you have a corrupted inventory cache on your own computer.  This can happen for any number of reasons, but often because you had a flaky Internet connection at some point when you were adding things to or removing things from inventory.  Your locally cached copy got out of sync with SL's servers, and now they are having trouble talking with each other.

Deleting your local cached inventory should solve the problem.  The following instructions are written for Firestorm users, but they apply to any viewer.  Just change the filenames in obvious ways .....

• Locate your cache folder. You will probably need to do this manually, if you are unable to log in. Use a file manager (like Windows Explorer for Windows system, Dolphin, or some such) to locate the cache folder. In its default location, the cache folder is hidden on most OSs. To find it, you will need to show hidden folders. Default cache locations are:
  • Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\[uSERNAME]\Local Settings\Application Data\Firestorm
  • Windows Vista: C:\Users\[uSERNAME]\AppData\Local\Firestorm
  • Windows 7: C:\Users\[uSERNAME]\AppData\Local\Firestorm
  • Mac: ~/Library/Caches/Firestorm
  • linux: ~/.firestorm/cache
• In this folder, locate the files named data.db2.x.* and index.db2.x.* (where * is a digit: 0, 1, 2, etc; you may have more than one of each type of file)
• Delete all files that match these two names.
• Log back into SL, to a quiet region (try Hippo Hollow, Aich or Hatton). Allow your inventory to repopulate fully.

If the above fails, then try doing a full wipe of all settings.

Sl runs just fine. The issue is probably on your end

Works fine for me.  It's not likely to get much better soon.
