Question

updated today - Why does my SL viewer get stuck at VFS and quit? this never happened before.  I really don't want to have to muck around uninstalling, reininstalling, or installing another viewer. That would really suck. Hope the company fixes this now. andby the way, why they release an update that doesn't work on  this many computers? Not too thrilled about that. however, let's see how fast they get things fixed.

Hi Timothy,

It seems there's a bug in the latest SL viewer. People are finding that reverting to a previous version, moving ahead to a release candidate viewer, or switching to a third party viewer gets them going again, though reverting isn't quite straightforward.

Natates Urriah discusses the recent viewer problem and a fix here...

And this has been discussed on other answers threads...

Good luck!

ETA: Apparently the release channel viewers are buggy as well. The project viewers are thought to be safe to use. You can find them here (the last two of the five viewers available for download)...

This is happening to a number of people.  Please uninstall and do a clean reinstall of the previous version.  Instructions here: http://community.secondlife.com/t5/English-Knowledge-Base/How-to-uninstall-and-reinstall-Second-Life/ta-p/1375231

If you did not save the previous version's installation file in your Downloads folder, try one of the many third party viewers.

Or you can try this version: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Release_Notes/Second_Life_Release/3.7.20.296355
