0 Wendy Forsythe Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 I am having the same problem. I can find it in task manager under promcesses but not in applications. Have also tried Emerald viewer and SNoeglobe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Greener Unplugged Posted November 8, 2009 Author Share Posted November 8, 2009 Annoying aint it? I get the impression we've been given a dodgy version lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 trefor Beardmore Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 Hi Greener. I think i had the same problem the other day, Right close the process(SL Viewer) in the Task Manager, then delete the user data and then the folder secondlife in program files. Oh, before you reinstall , reboot the system it will clear the memory. And then reinstalled the viewer, it should solve the problem then.

0 Velma Paine Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 try going to control manager and uninstalling SL completely...make sure you have ALL versions/viewers uninstalled. This includes snowglobe, Emerald, and any others. Then reboot your computer. Then go to https://secure-web19.secondlife.com/my/support/downloads and download/run the version you need. Make sure that you exit secondlfie correctly before trying to run it again. Look for me inworld and send me an instant message if that works. I'll check back here to see if it didn't. Good luck!

0 Ellla McMahon Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 Hello Greener, as suggested by other commentors, follow the instructions to completely uninstall all Second Life Viewers, saving any chat logs, if you wish. How do I fully uninstall and reinstall Second Life? Please make sure the Second Life Cache, User Settings and content of any Temporary folders are also deleted. Use your computer's Search to find any Second Life folders and files. Reboot your computer and your router. Then download the latest Viewer Second Life Version Number: 1.23.5 (136262) Oct 14 2009 12:08:26 (Second Life Release) from here Second Life® Installer, save the programme to your Desktop and install. Please note that Basic account holders and Guests can submit Tickets with Support at http://support.secondlife.com/for the following issues: Account issue: Use these if you're having a problem creating or logging into their account.

0 Unklebob Hotaling Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 This is the closest I can find to Secondlife not loading; you don't have the crash logger coming up with the exact same error message (and damned if I've found that specific error message mentioned in the knowledge base yet)... but in general this references SL not loading. All the more you should submit a ticket as you await replies. Here's the FAQ: If Second Life crashes during the loading process, you may be using an uncommon combination of settings that we were unable to test during our quality assurance process. This problem is more common in First Look and Release Candidate viewers. To restore your default settings without reinstalling Second Life, move all of your existing settings files to a different, temporary directory. Next time Second Life starts, it will create a new, default set of settings files. Your settings files can be found in the following location: On Windows: C:\Documents and Settings\\Application Data\SecondLife\user_settings On Mac OSX: /Users//Library/Application Support/SecondLife/user_settings If restoring your default settings fixes your problem, please file a bug report in the Public Issue Tracker and attach your original settings files (the ones you saved in a temporary directory) so we can analyze them and solve the problem for future Residents. If this still doesn't solve your problem, some bad cache files might be causing the crash logger itself to crash. Try clearing out your cache files, uninstalling Second Life, and reinstalling.

0 Ellla McMahon Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Hello Greener, the uninstalling/reinstalling instructions for Vista are in this article too How do I fully uninstall and reinstall Second Life? On Windows Vista Open C:\Users\(yourusername)\AppData\Local and delete the contents of your Temp folder. Open C:\Users\(yourusername)\AppData\Roaming\SecondLife and delete the contents of the Cache folder. Uninstall Second Life using the Programs and Features tool in your Windows Control Panel. Reboot your computer. Visit http://secondlife.com/download and download and install the latest release. If you cannot see the files or folders described above: Select Organize > Folder and Search Options in Windows Explorer. Click the View tab. Select Show Hidden Files and Folders. Click OK. If you still cannot login, please submit a Ticket with Support at http://support.secondlife.com/ Basicaccount holders and Guests can, however, use special options in theSubmit a Ticket area to reach our support staff for certain commonquestions or problems.

0 Unklebob Hotaling Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 If AppData is a system folder it might be hidden, that's a setting on your computer. Check your folder options. I got XP so I'm no help in telling you how to check that on Vista. Inre being unable to submit a ticket to support cause you get error messages... are you trying to do that inworld? What do the error messages say, I've never heard of error messages from submitting a ticket - thats a novel LL concept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Jennifer Baxton Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Is it possible that you are on a network where someone else is also running SecondLife? If so, you might have to go to the network tab in preferences and select a custom port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
