Question
Sophiaperis31
Hello everybody.
This is my third post, trying to make SL viewer to work.
SL viewer stops loading during VFS initialization.
I use GeForce GTX 550 Ti video card and Windows XP Pro Service Pack 3,
on an Intel Core Duo CPU system, 2,67GHz, 2 GB of RAM.
(from system properties)
-Actions that I have tried many times:
.Uninstall-reinstall video card drivers
.Uninstall-reinstall SL viewers
.Delete folders under Local Settings & Application Data
.Remove all programs and noMicrosoft services from windows startup
.Cleaning registry using various cleaners and uninstall-reinstall the above.
.Remove all drivers using Driver Cleaner and install newest drivers for my system.
.uninstall and reboot before each reinstall of drivers and viewers.
SL viewer still not loading.. :(
Edited:
Dilbert Dilweg, thank you for your support.
I already run as administrator.
Nyll Bergbahn, thank you for your great help and support.
Firestorm viewer also not loading.

Dear Nyll Bergbahn,
The network connection used is Ethernet cable 100Mbps, directly to 24Mbps ADSL modem.
Bluetooth etc connections are disabled.
Yes, only from my office laptop I manage to use SL viewers.
Office connection is a high speed professional connection,
but I don’t know more details about that.
Office laptop is connected with ethernet cable at office network.

OK Nyll.
Thank you for your time, dealing with this.

Dear Nyll,
There is no Firewall at my PC neither ADSL modem.
I got some help from my bro that knows more than me
and he gave me instructions to force TCP and UDP ports
that Second Life uses, from ADSL modem to my PC IP address.
(outbound TCP access for ports 53, 80, 443, 12043, 12046 and 21002
outbound UDP for ports 53, 3478,3479,5060,5062, and 12000-29999.)
Still not working.
According to Second Life log file,
(the log file after reinstallation at first attempt to open SL viewer)
There are those errors at the end of the log file:

Last edit: PROBLEM SOLVED!
Dear Peggy and dear Nyll, thank you so much for your support.
I followed the route of Peggy’s thinking about a generally “system problem’ and also Nyll’s thoughts about “drivers problems” from previous installation.
I believed that this was the most realistic base of thinking, for solving my problem.
So, I started to check all my system from motherboard bases, with help from some very helpful forums and generally posts about gaming problems.
I realized that I have to check what is really active in my system and if the active drivers really effect my hardware.
I started manually to search active .dlls and I found some active .dlls that had to do with ASUS drivers of some kind.
Since I used ASUS/ATI display drivers in the past and my present display hardware is NVIDIA GeForce, that was suspicious.
I checked about those active ASUS .dlls and I realised that they represent ASUS OSD gamer utility.
Searching the net, I found out that ASUS OSD gamer has to do with 3D acceleration and openGl, for ASUS display hardware.
It was obvious that I had to uninstall this ASUS OSD gamer, because since dlls were active, were creating problems at my display system, 3D and OpenGl.
Those .dlls were generally hidden in my system and there was no way to properly uninstall all of them, without creating problems at my windows registry.
So, I searched for ASUS OSD gamer installation.
It was not possible to find the installation file at official ASUS support website.
I found at a download server a file named: GamerOSD200.rar
I downloaded the file, I performed installation and ASUS OSD gamer installed in my system.
After installation, I immediately uninstalled this ASUS OSD gamer.
After that, all ASUS and ATI dlls disappeared from my system.
Then, I removed all my display drivers and after a reboot I let Windows XP to find out about my display hardware and perform driver’s installation automatically.
Windows XP really installed drivers for GeForce GTX 550 Ti video card, founding drivers in /system32.
I reboot again, reinstall Second Life viewer and IT FINALLY WORKS!
Although I lost almost all Sunday searching about solution
and I didn’t went for swimming, living a heat wave day here in Greece,
I am very glad that I found out what was wrong.
Thank you all so much for your help
and for the time you spend about that.
Regards from Athens, Greece.
:)
