Kekken Biberman Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 I've tried multiple viewers, Second life, snowstorm, even the new beta for Firestorm, but only the normal firestorm will open for me. No other viewer will open - it starts up in processes, but closes itself shortly thereafter. Is there any way to fix this problem? I want to work with the Mesh viewer.

Kekken Biberman Posted September 7, 2011 Author Share Posted September 7, 2011 Sorry for a double-post, but I want to clarify. I have uninstalled all SL viewers, updated graphics card, updated Windows (WIndows 7 x64). My system specs are WELL above what is required in all fields, and since I uninstalled, the normal firestorm is unavalible. I can't get back onto SL at all now. The window does not open, the process only stays in the process manager for a few seconds then disappears. I have deleted settings, re-installed multiple times, attempted to run with administrator mode, compatability mode, and I've even tried deleting a reported DLL in the install associated with joysticks that may have caused the problem (It didn't help, and a re-install replaced the file anyway) I am now at a loss as to what to do. I am entirely unable to open the program, the 'VFS' thing some people have reported does not occur - as the window never actually appears on the program bar at the bottom of the screen.

Oriana Kuhr Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 I am having the exact same issue, but no one can give me a straight answer or a solution Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shockwave Yareach Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 What you describe makes me wonder if the drivers for the GPU are installed at all. I've had a friend complain that they could play no games or anything after putting in the card, and he was still in VGA mode with none of the 3D card drivers installed. Perhaps you could download the latest drivers for your video card from the manufacturer? I've had a bizarre glitch before where the VFS announcement stayed on teh screen as the program crashed. But that was caused by having a particular USB device hooked up which killed Dinput8.dll early in initialization. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kekken Biberman Posted September 8, 2011 Author Share Posted September 8, 2011 My graphics card drivers were recently updated Trust me, I've gone through everything I could - I can play games much more graphically intensive than this, and, if this were true, how could I run any second life veiwer at all? I've tried snowglobe, SLV2, V3, and the Firestorm Beta 3. Only firestorm beta 2 will work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oriana Kuhr Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 I found a fix! Open your task manager, go to the processes tab. Look for dllhost.exe. if it's running, shut it down. Then try to open the viewer. Worked for me, hope it works for you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kekken Biberman Posted September 8, 2011 Author Share Posted September 8, 2011 dllhost isn't even showing up in my processes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kainous Megadon Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 I have the same exact problem as well. I am well above the requirements as well. I can run any viewer other than ones based on V3. Process shows up for a bit then disappears. Tried LL support but to no avail. We should create an issue on JIRA for this I think.

Kainous Megadon Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 Actually, by browsing the JIRA: I found the source of the problem: https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/VWR-25887 You probably have Teamviewer installed like me. I tested this out and it worked. 1- Open up Teamviewer 2- Click Extras -> Options 3- Click Advanced, then Show Advanced Options 4- QuickConnect buttonConfigure 5- Uncheck "Show QuickConnect Button" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spyke Lesse Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 I am having the exact same issue, only none of the viewers I downloaded (Firestorm, Pheonix, LL V2 AND the beta, Imprudence, Singularity) have worked at all. It zips through the little loading box, goes to the VFS thing, then nothing. Except in the case of the LL viewers, they immediately went to error reports, and of course the beta LL viewer's crash report crashed... I am NOT running team whatever that is, it is not installed on my PC, nor has it ever been, so this is not a working solution to this issue, for me at least. I am well within the recommended system specs, I've been running second life for years on various PC's, and I've never had this issue before. It's always at least gone to the home screen and let me log in before it randomly crashed. Now it doesn't even load the screen. Someone please tell me there is a solution to this issue, I really need to get back in world, I've got a business to run. Thanks guys. ~Spyke~ *edit for spelling error Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kainous Megadon Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 Hey Spyke. Our issue was that we didn't even get to that loading box. The process would end even before that. So I think your issue is a little different than ours. The teamviewer quickconnect button is a mod to all Windows. Next to your standard minimize/maximize/close buttons, a new QuickConnect button would show up. That was the cause of our issue. I'm not sure if you have any shell modifications installed or not. But if ya do, try disabling them and see if you have any results? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogueDog Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 That did the trick for me thanks! Instanly worked after unchecking that teamviewer button thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Venus Soyer Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 I am not technically inclined and am having the same problem. I uninstalled and reinstalled Second Life Viewer will not start. It gets to loading and never opens log in screen. I searched for that Teamviewer thing and I do not have it. There was all these "Thanks that worked" but did someone remove the post telling us what to do that worked? Singularity works for me but not SL viewer. Can someone help please? Speak slowly and use small words please!! LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madelaine McMasters Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Hi Venus, Until LL fixes the bug in the latest official viewer, I'll recommend you continue to use Singularity, or try Firestorm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venus Soyer Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Thank you for answering. I cant use Firestorm on this PC. It doesn't like it for some reason. And I will. Again TY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madelaine McMasters Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Venus, have you tried a clean install of Firestorm? If you installed it once before and something broke, subsequent updates may not work. Here are instructions for doing a clean install... http://wiki.phoenixviewer.com/fs_clean_reinstall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venus Soyer Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Yes I have tried Firestorm from a clean install. My PC does not like it. I prefer using Singulairty but need to get used to V3 Although it is much harder interface at least LL will honor any issues you have with losing money or items while using their viewr. They will not using other 3rd party viewers. ty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madelaine McMasters Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Okay then, last resort time. LL has "project viewers" that are pre-release viewer that contain features they expect to release in the future. They're generally not as stable as the release viewer, but given that the current release is DOA for you, they might be worth a try. I've read that some people have tried them with success. You'll find them here, at the bottom of the list... http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Linden_Lab_Official:Alternate_Viewers I've never tried any of these, but I'll recommend the Experience project viewer. Or, just get comfy with Singularity! ;-). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venus Soyer Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 O)h I tried that Project Experience and I like it a lot! A shame V3 will not work though Again thanks to everyone for the help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
