SL keeps freezing up and crashing

[NyxKri]

My SL viewer keeps freezing up and crashing. I teleport to a place and it crashes. I don't know if it's the lag, the place, my internet or my computer, but i would like it to be fixed. Can anyone help me?

There was a time when I only had 2 GB of memory and I crashed a lot.  After I upgraded to 3 GB, the crashes stopped.  So maybe more memory might help you as well.

Once an SL Viewer crashes you may have to reboot the computer to clear problems.

A crash may also corupt the viewer's settings file.

C:\users\[user_name]\AppData\Roaming\SecondLife\user_settings\settings.xml

Rename or delete the file. The viewer will make a new one with the default settings.

A texture download can also corrupt and cause problems. So, try clearing the cache.

C:\users\[user_name]\AppData\Local\SecondLife\

You can delete everything in the folder.

It is important to know if you use only one viewer or whether you use 2 or more different viewers. If you use Phoenix, Imprudence, or others you need to make separate caches for each viewer. They do not play well together.

I did not see your video card listed. If it is ATI, you may have a video driver problem.
