0 Knowl Paine Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Not sure if it was just me but SL froze up and crashed. My event viewer said that my monitor was stuck in a loop and to check the drivers. I found driver updates that had just been released. Maybe this can help you. after updating the drivers, the appearance of the water Inworld changed. Now even on the lowest graphics setting I see the shiny water. It's nice at surface level but from the air it's a little to sparkly for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Dilbert Dilweg Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Maybe there is a bug in the auto updating system. Try un-installing the viewer and reinstalling it manually Download the exe something may have went wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Nyll Bergbahn Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 It's never a good idea to allow SL update the viewer. If a newer version is released and you want to install it, uninstall the existing version yourself and then download the latest version and install it. I would suggest you do that now and hopefully that will resolve your problem. If not, refer back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Nyll Bergbahn Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 To disable automatic updates, open Preferences > Setup and under Software Updates change to manual. Nyll Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 George Orellana Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 You will have to manually clear your cache and restart the viewer. C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\SecondLifebrowser_profile\Cache and delete everything inside that folder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Claireschen Hesten Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 if what has been suggested so far isn't working you might want to try running your viewer in XP sp2 compatibility mode you can do this by right clicking your viewer icon clicking properties then the compatibility tab if that doesn't help you can always turn the compatibility off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Medhue Simoni Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Just clearing the cache did not work for me. I had to delete the whole SL folder in AppData\Roaming. Just Navigate to C:\Documents and Settings\YOUR_USERNAME\AppData\Roaming and Delete the whole Secondlife folder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
