Check Me - Preferences - Graphics - Hardware and make sure Enable VBO is turned off.  Also if you haven't updated your graphics drivers in the last couple of months, you might want to do that as well.  Recent updates in the Viewer caused me all kinds of strange graphics issues until I updated my drivers.

Hi all.

I'm brand new to SL. A few days ago I downloaded SL (Second_Life_3-2-6-248086) and installed it. (I have uninstalled and re-installed it a few times too).

But I can not get the SL Viewer to run. I double-click the Icon on my desktop to start SL. It brings a small narrow window up saying "Loading Second Life" then change to "Initializing VFS". The window disappears and another one popup saying "Second Life Crash Logger" and it sends a report to SL crash report server 1. After sending it disappears too.

I have upgraded my graphics card drivers, I've cleared the cache manually.

Any help to get my SL to work would be great

My crash log report is as follows:

You should have posted this in your orignal thread. If you have problems finding a prior thread or post, click you name at the top of the page to get a listing of your recent posts.

It looks like we need a few more lines of the log at the top.

Since there seems to be some problem with the files, I suggest a clean install. You will need to run the viewers uninstall program and then check that all the files and cache are actually removed. Then reinstall. The details are in: Second Life Clean Install. It is written for those of us that use multiple viewers.

The files often left behind are in AppData\Local\SecondLife and AppData\Roaming\Secondlife.
