sl not opening need ideas

[Crockett Caiben]

So when i click on the sl icon a window says sl already running on task bar if problem persists restart computer.  Sl is not already open, restart didnt work, and reinstall didnt work.  Does anyone have any ideas?

Check your Task Manager processes to see if there is an entry for SL running & if so end it.

I would try deleting your settings folder

 

Enable Hidden Files & Folders:

1. Open Control Panel
2. Open “Folder Options”
3. Open the “View” tab
4. Check “Show hidden files, folders, and drives”

Press ok and close control panel.

Accessing AppData

1. Open Computer
2. Open C: drive, then
* XP: Documents and Settings
* Vista/7: Users
3. Open AppData
4. Open “Local” – Your address bar will appear as C:\Users\\AppData\Local
5. Delete “SecondLife”
6. Now go back one level to the AppData folder
7. Open “Roaming” – Your address bar will appear as C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming
8. Delete "SecondLife"
9. Restart your computer. This is important. Do not try starting Second Life again until you have rebooted.

Once you have rebooted, Second Life should run properly. If not then you may want to contact support

 

If this doesnt help. Try deleting your launch icon/shortcut and create a new one
