I have a mesh intensive video set that I used Saturday to make a video. About 6 people there, none crashed in the 2 hour shooting session. (These were using various viewers.) TKR

Sry the compatibilty mode did not help. I followed problems with win7/64 back in 2010-11. Never heard of people running out of memory as easily as you seem to have done. You have probably tried this: 1. Check what loads on start and cut out what you can. 2. Restart windows. 3. Start SL and try it before you start anything else. Use Ctrl + Alt -Del to open Task Manager, then check Physical Memory (under the performance tab). I just checked that load on my system (with no effort to reduce memory load). With SL and 6 broswer windows open, I still have 2.4 GB available on my 6 GB system. I am a little doubful that memory is your problem.

You may not be running SL in the compatibility mode -- Here is a relevant article http://virtualoutworlding.blogspot.com/2010/08/windows-7-64-bit-second-life-no.html As you can see, I was running win7/64 Back in Aug, 2012. I don't think I had more that 4 GB of memory, but I don't know. I do know that Win put SL in a special directory that was reserved for 32 bit software. For me, the installs were (are) automatic, but I gather something can go wrong. I found instructions for handling that condition and gave a link in the article. TKR

Viewers marked beta will probably not overwite your current viewer. If they are not marked beta, I recommend that you assume that they will overwrite. They may not, and you may get an optfion to install them in a different folder, but don't count on it. You can preserve the old install by copying the current folder to somewhere else and giving it a new name to identify it. I would never install one of these without a good reason to accept potential troubles TKR
