viewer not supported on this architecture. Halp?

[AstralWanderer]

I can't open the Second Life viewer because "It is not supported on this architecture".  What does this mean and how do I go about fixing it?

 

Format is Mac OS Extended.

It sounds like you are tryiing to run SL using some machine that does not run either Windows (XP, Vista, Win 7 or Win 8), a Mac OS, or a Linux distro.  All those operating systems are supported by the official Second Life viewers and most likely all third party viewers (TPVs)..........I say most likely for the TPVs since there could be a few that are not coded for one or more of the major operating systems run on modern computers.

Or you could be trying to run SL on a smart phone or tablet........those OS's are generally not supported by most viewers.  There are a couple of viewers available that will run SL in a very limited way.  I don't know what viewers those might be but someone will come along soon who does.

Mac OS extended is an old one. You may try to use Rainbow/Cool Viewer. Don't expect a smashing graphical experience though, as these old viewers do not have the features such as shadows or depth of field and most of all they are not able to see mesh. But here you go (until you get a new Mac for your next birthday...:smileywink:)
