DJ Jenny,

Hello and welcome to SL Answers. You have asked several questions so in the order you have presented them:

1) Can't Log into a simulator -

Many reasons why this can happen - Rolig cites several in her post. I put the link below and the Login Failure discussion by Jeremy Linden is a good one as well.:

2)  why phoenix viewer seems to let me log in normally on win7?

Graphics Cards control your whole user experience in SecondLife. Your PC & OS & Graphics Card together need to be up to snuff for the SL3 Viewer & Firestorm to work well for you. Recommended reading...

The notion of logging in normally is one of perception. All the main SL & 3rd party viewers work well on Windows 7 PCs. Many times the PC needs patches applied and a current Video driver update. Yes, Phoenix uses less PC graphics resources per se but not necessarily memory. For that matter 2GB memory is a flat minimum I recommend for a PC wanting to run any SL viewer. [i use Win7 PCs as well as Vista PCs to access SL ]

3) why any other viewer of second life from 2.0 and after been crushing on vista?

Once again, . All the main SL & 3rd party viewers work in Windows Vista as well. Many times the PC needs patches applied and a current Video driver update. . [i use Win7 PCs as well as Vista PCs to access SL ]

4) can get the old SL viewer 1.2.3....

No, it's no longer recommended - Use Phoenix or Imprudence if you like this style interface
