I downloaded the viewer. But when I click to open and play (I've never played before)

when it goes to "detecting hardware" it crashes. i've tried around 20 times over the course of that day.

I tried redownloading.. restarting the computer.

I have vista. not sure if I downloaded the right thing.. it's the only thing I saw to download.

Perhaps downloading a viewer called Firestorm may ease these problems.

Its similar to V2 made by LL and it works just as good.

Submit a ticket at the Linden Lab support desk, then maybe try a different viewer.

Here are some below from the Wiki:

Life. You may find that your individual experience differs from this ordering.

Viewer Description Platforms
 Second Life Release 1.23 (would be here based on crash rate)
TPV-Phoenix-Icon.png Phoenix Phoenix Viewer is a Third Party Viewer based from the LL Snowglobe 1.5 code base, created by The Phoenix Viewer Project Inc (non-profit) Devleopment Team. Large feature set and dedicated Support team available 24/7 to help our users with any issue. WindowsMacOSLinux

 

TPV-Kirstens-Icon.png Kirstens A hybrid viewer based on a mixture of snowstorm and other official sources aimed specifically at high end users, film makers and photography. WindowsMacOSLinux

 

 Second Life Release 2.8.0 (would be here based on crash rate)
TPV-Imprudence-Icon.png Imprudence The goal of Imprudence is to improve the user interface and usability of the viewer through community involvement, thoughtful design, modern development methods, and a pro-change atmosphere. WindowsMacOSLinux

 

TPV-Firestorm-Icon.png Firestorm The next generation viewer from The Phoenix Viewer Project, Firestorm is based on the V2 LGPL code with many interface changes and feature additions. This is a Beta version. WindowsMacOSLinux

 

TPV-Emergence-Icon.png Emergence Emergence viewer is ran by a single developer and is part of an effort to provide users with a safe alternative viewer. Emergence is currently a near clone to Phoenix, as they share this goal, and it is advised to use it instead for higher support. Windows

 

TPV-Singularity-Icon.png Singularity A viewer based on Ascent upgrading it under the hood for higher stability and performance, as well as compatibility with newer Second Life features such as Display Names. Also adds RLVa support. WindowsMacOSLinux

 

 Second Life Beta 2.8.1 (would be here based on crash rate)
 Ascent Ascent provides expanded control for content creators and developers and improves upon basics such as client detection, parcel management, and asset browsing.
