Hi Shari!

I also have Win 7 64bit and it runs Second Life Viewer just fine.  The "32-bit only" from the system requirements is referring to the fact that the viewer is a 32-bit application instead of a native 64-bit application.

Hope this helps!

See Torley Lindens post on this in the wiki:  http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Linden_Lab_Official:Windows_7

Yes, works fine but the 32-bit mentioned on the System Requirements page is still there because LInden Lab has not bothered to update it to include 64-bit. We've asked that it be changed on a few occasions, the last time it came up a few months ago, Torley promised to follow it up with the Linden(s) responsible for that page but it still hasn't been done.

I`m running Phoenix 908 on Windows 7 64bit with no problems, what graphics card do you have?

Have you tried Phoenix 977 Beta?

You could also join their inworld group "Phoenix Viewer Support" and ask in group chat if there are any known issues. Their support staff are very helpful.

Both Kirstens S21 viewer (I can only seem to get version 5 to work well) and Imprudence 1.4 will run on Win 7 64 bit. I just installed the newest official viewer (this is April 11 ) and while it did install I dind't have any top toolbar or any way that seemed to get the top toolbar only very basic newbie stuff. Couldn't get the avanced menu to show etc.. That may be completely ME of course LOL.  I have found that there are plenty of programs that will not run with Win 7 64 bit and telling Win 7 to run it in an earlier version doesn't help.

 

So just try some out and see what you like. Setting a restore point might be a good idea of course. If I find the answer to the missing menu I will try and update this.

Sounds like you are logged in on Basic mode, relog and change to advanced mode
