Question
Jiggeraccy
I know there are other threads on this, and I've read 'em all but still cannot get rid of the error message about my drivers not being up to date. My drivers are absolutely up to date. I used the SL Viewer on this same laptop and graphics card with no problem on Windows 7. I've tried re-updating my drivers. I've tried various compatibility modes. I've tried other Viewers (Firestorm, Exodus, and Singularity) to the same result. Has anyone figured a out a fix for this yet?
I don't intend to revert to Windows 7 just for one program, so I'd really like to figure this out. Is it simply that Second Life is just incompatible with Windows 8? That doesn't seem to make sense, but I'm at my wits end and would be sad to no longer have SL.
***As requested, here's my pc info. Please note that I used SL on this laptop with no problem for over a year, same graphics card, same everything. The only thing that has changed is that I upgraded to Windows 8. I appreciate your responses!
Windows 8 Pro. PROCESSOR- AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core Processor TK-42 1.60 GHz. INSTALLED MEMORY- 3.00 GB (2.75 usable). SYSTEM TYPE: 32-bit Operating system, x64-based processor. GRAPHICS CARD- ATI Radeon HD 3200 Graphics
As far as the viewer goes, I'm trying to use the official Second Live viewer from Linden, latest release. I'm not making it to the log-in screen. I get the "your graphics card doesn't have the latest driver" message when I try to start the program. Also unsuccessfully tried the latest versions of the others I listed above.
