Question

This only happened a few days ago; I haven't encountered this before. I tried re-installing - same problem.

I still have the Viewer1 on my PC and can login to SL with it, but not with Viewer 2/3.

(What is "VFS" anyway?)

What I did was uninstall then go to to SL website Downloads to get it again.

I think I got rid of everything, but maybe I need to check.

Virtual File System

When you reinstalled your veiwer, did you do a clean reinstall or did you just dowload a new copy of the viewer and dump it on top of the old one, probably without removing all of the local and roaming files (which is where the problem lies)?  When you get that error, the problem is generally that one or more of your settings files have been damaged.  Those files, by design, always survive a viewer upgrade so that you don't have to redo all of your Preference settings again.  If they have been screwed up, though, the new installation just inherits the old damage.

See http://wiki.phoenixviewer.com/fs_clean_reinstall for instructions about doing a clean reinstall.  They are written for Firestorm users, but they apply to any viewer.
