Nyll Bergbahn Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 Uninstall the viewer completely including manually deleting the Second Life folders in AppData > Roaming and AppData > Local. If AppData is hidden, you need to enable viewing. Follow the instructions for your OS here: http://forums.majorgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=74220 or here http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial62.html If you wish to save existing chat files you've had with other avatars, move the Roaming > [avatar name] folder elsewhere on your computer and drag any chat text files you wish to retain into the new Roaming > [avatar name] folder once Second Life is reinstalled and you've logged in at least once. Ignore if you don't want to save any. Now download Second Life from the main download page and install it. Log into the region Smith. If you can't change Login Location, tick the box 'Show on login' under Preferences > General > Login Location. Make sure you are in Advanced mode and not Basic prior to logging in. Allow your Inventory to load. Click the Recent tab to get this going. I usually advise people to open Preferences > Setup tab and change 'Software updates' drop down menu to 'Download and install updates manually', as the automatic update process has caused problems for some. Unless you are experiencing problems a simple uninstall from the Start Menu > All Programs > Second Life should suffice before downloading and installing future viewer releases.

Nyll Bergbahn Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 That's not good. Try another full uninstall as above then install the previous version. It worked before for you. You can download it here: http://community.secondlife.com/t5/Featured-News/New-SL-Viewer-with-Improved-Search-and-Real-Time-Shadows/ba-p/927463 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayalily Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Did you check to see if you can log into Basic? There is a little trick I found when you can't log onto Advanced and the trick is this: Log onto basic just to get going as basic doesn't need to download your inventory. If you can log onto basic, you're good. Once on basic, move around a little, give the viewer a chance to recognize you. Log back out again and switch to advanced, and you should be good to go. If you can't even log onto basic, then you have another problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

averageclonejoe Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 I've not ever been able to start my second life as the viewer after 2.9.6 will not start. Viewer 2.9.6 starts, but i cannot do anything in it without updating. b4 anybody asks, i've read up on everything i could find about this ( next to bugger all ), drivers up to date etc. Needs fixing pronto coz i'm gonna give up on it before it frustrates me.

Nyll Bergbahn Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 Try the new Phoenix Firestorm viewer then, it's based on viewer 2 code but a different interface and the old Phoenix viewer is available too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sja91 Posted July 6, 2011 Author Share Posted July 6, 2011 hello, well , it works , but its very laggy , i think the problem is this SLvoice.exe*32 proccess, it is a second life thing, it takes up 1.5 gb of ram , and i cant end it , even when i close the viewer. how do i get rid of this problem?

Nyll Bergbahn Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 Oh, is that what's happening. I've seen that SL can become very laggy if due to a bug or other reason, it's not killing the slvoice.exe proccess and you end up with multiple slvoice.exe processes. You can kill the process that didn't close down in your Task Manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sja91 Posted July 7, 2011 Author Share Posted July 7, 2011 i tried that , task manager cant end it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyll Bergbahn Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 As you have Phoenix working although laggy, best thing now to do is contact Phoenix Suppport and seek help from them. Phoenix has a good support team operating inworld as well as on the website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
