Yes it is.  SL is not a game but a user-generated virtual world.  As such it places demands on your computer, especially the internet connection and to a lesser extent the graphics card, that games do not.

What are the system specs, especially what graphics card you have - not integrated graphics - and what type of internet connection do you have?

This is the second time the helpers ask you about the specifications of your computer: http://community.secondlife.com/t5/Technical/Cant-start-SL-on-my-new-laptop/qaq-p/1206771

Whatever the issue is, it's not Windows 7.   I have that on my PC and SL runs perfectly well.

Hello Reginald. I run Windows 7. Have a look here: https://secondlife.com/my/support/system-requirements/index.php

The problem is no your O.S. Your shared Intel graphics adaptor (up to 761 MB shared memory with 2 GB system memory installed) maybe causes the problem.
