Welcome to Second Life Answers, ninaleone Several things might be causing you to log out, but I think there is a possibility you may need to update your graphics card drivers. Please go to the website of the manufacturer of your graphics card, ie nvidia or ATI. It would, though, be incredibly useful to us to have your system specifications. You can find these either on your computer's welcome screen, or if you bring up a Second Life viewer screen, click on "help" and "about" will bring up a small window containing your system specs. To add more to your thread, please click on "options" at the top right hand corner of your original post and "edit".

Bear in mind, though, it's the weekend, and Maestro, I think, may not be on duty. Also, you might want to try and pick the brains of the Second Life Beta group people, just in case there are any more practical suggestions among them.

Greetings, It would help enormously if you'd post your computer's full specifications here. Lag can be caused by several things; if your broadband is shared by many other people on your internet service, a low-spec graphics card, settings inworld on too high, and having too little spare RAM will also slow you down. You are absolutely right not to go buying a new nvidia card until you can make an informed choice.

Welcome to Second Life Answers, Turner1965 How very peculiar. Are you absolutely sure it is all your own objects that are shifting, and not just the rented home in which they are in? To check this, you can make a note of the locations of them by right clicking an object, and in the second tab in edit mode, check the XYZ positioning of same. Is your landlord a joker? Or do they have someone who is moving your home? I have never heard of any security orb twitching and switching objects around.

Greetings, LiquidH3ll I've been able to log into Aditi without this problem, on Firestorm, V3 and Phoenix separately. I would suggest logging in to a different start location - Morris is where I have been able to log in - and then teleport to where you want to be from there. If you still cannot log in, you may be a victim of the ongoing issue regarding an inventory server being full, although I was sure this had been sorted out. In which case, you need to send a private message to Maestro Linden, either via these forums, where he does come in to do the weekly deploy on Monday evenings, or inworld.

Greetings, madelini If you have auto returned a whole bunch of objects at the same time, it is very likely that your lost items are actually contained within a coalesced cube. For more information about coalesced cubes, please do read this article in the official Second Life Knowledge Base. http://community.secondlife.com/t5/English-Knowledge-Base/Building-tips/ta-p/700041

Welcome to Second Life Answers, Lonewolf9 Please first take a look at your land details. Click on the land title at the top of your screen. It will show you how many prims have already been used, and how many are available. Read also the error message that comes up on your screen to ensure it is your own land that is refusing to accept your objects. (There are often times that there is a neighbouring prim that is encroaching that can cause failure to rezz messages - "ctrl" "alt" and "t" pressed simultaneously will show up any hidden objects that may be causing this problem.) It may indeed be that your sim does require a restart. As you have purchased land, you must be Premium members, and are therefore entitled to help from Live Chat. Go via Support https://support.secondlife.com/contact-support/ Option to contact Live Chat will be halfway down the text on that screen. If you need to add more to this thread, please do so by clicking on "options" at the top right hand corner of your original post and "edit".

Thanks for everyone's help, hopefully I'll see you in SL sometime :matte-motes-grin: Thanks for the update, Yoddi. Check also you've got plenty of free RAM too, remove any excess programs, disk cleanup and defragment. (I recently added more RAM to this computer, and it's honestly never worked as well, not since it was new).

The same residents come back day after day and do the same bad behaviors despite hundreds of well documented (reporting their objects by selection, photo evidence, etc) ARs from different reporters. It's called containment. While the griefer(s) and/or their alts are making merry at the same old places, the rest of the grid is less likely to suffer. It would be impractical and impossible for LL to post staff on the public sandboxes 24/7 to instantly delete and ban griefers, who would undoubtedly just create another alt and move around the grid more.

Welcome to Second Life forums, Yoddi. I'm not a great tech wizard, but the great tech wizards of the Second Life forums would surely love to see your computer specifications so they can advise you on this. All I know is that your network connection can seem fine, your internet service provider can lie say you have megatons of fassssst speeeeed, but if you're sharing your service with a ton of other people, it will dilute your bandwith and leave you short-changed. That sensation of lagging can also be caused by a low-spec graphics card, or graphics within SL being set far too high, another reason we'd find it really useful to have a glance at your system specs.

Hallo, Mrs J If you see your avatar as a cloud, or as an unfinished/unbaked/'ruthed' avatar, there are many things you can do, and what will work one day, may not work another day, and so I give you this link. http://wiki.phoenixviewer.com/bake_fail Please read from the top of the page, and work slowly through the instructions until you find what fixes your avatar's appearance.

Marvellous! :matte-motes-big-grin: Congratulations on your recent purchase. As with most things in Second Life, there may be a notecard within the package of Lolas that you bought, or if you click on them when you are actually wearing them, a box will drop down onto your screen with menu options, and one will be "help". Or, you should be able to go back to the vendor of said Lolas and ask them for more information, or maybe they have a group you can join too and chat with other customers. Wishing you good luck with your Lolas.

Greetings, MetalDragon It sounds like you need to be talking to your internet service provider. However, if the complex in which you live belongs to a student campus, then it is no surprise to hear you have the problems of not being able to log in to Second Life. There may be limitations regarding accessing programs that are likely to gobble up all the bandwith, as Second Life can do.

It sounds like you're not staying connected. Have a go at logging back in, BUT do change your start login location there on the log in screen - use Furball or Quarrel (these are just empty sims belonging to Governor Linden). Maybe the region you have been logging into has got issues - hence the message "the region might be experiencing difficulties", but don't rule out problems with your internet connection. (Logging into the different region will help you diagnose if this is the problem/part of the problem.) Other suggestions will follow, and it will be useful if you add updates to this thread as and when solutions are found. Wishing you luck.

Welcome to Second Life Answers, and for unofficially being the Thread of the Day. I have the opposite problem, in that I accidentally signed my avatar name on a RL document the other day - the brain cells sometimes take a vacation. I hope the great suggestions given in this thread have helped you. They all certainly made me smile.

Clear your cache. Relog into a very quiet location by changing the start location on your log in screen to Furball or Quarrel, and WAIT while your inventory fully loads before you do anything else. This issue happens to a lot of us, even ones like me who have been in SL for five years, and often is down to slight interruptions in broadband service, and flitting between viewers makes the issue worse. Clearing your cache will help bring all your avatar's details back together again from the servers. Be patient, follow the above instructions, all will be well.

It sounds like you had a lucky escape from a bad employer. Most of the venues in Second Life have good security, and I hope you are luckier with your next workplace.

Welcome to Second Life, and to Second Life Forums. The Linden Homes can be a good place to live in Second Life, and as you are so very new, I would recommend this, if you want to have a place to call your own. But... Do not stay in your home. Use it as a place to return to, to unpack shopping, or to have your friends round to. Explore as much of Second Life as you want to, and you will always meet other people with similar interests. Have a look at this ... https://secondlife.com/my/whatnext/?lang=en-US Point number two gives you good ideas how to meet friends, suggests the Destination Guide, offers tutorials about the basic things you need to know in Second Life ... ... and, of course, visit your Dashboard on a regular basis https://secondlife.com/my/?lang=en-US which will show you the latest information about Second Life, including (if you scroll down the page) some potentially interesting events, places to go, meet, shop, and sometimes contests. Do not expect to know everything at once. There is much to learn in Second Life. Develop your own character first - by that I mean, have a good look around, and you will find your niche. If you have a skill or preference of hobby in real life, maybe that will also develop in some way in Second Life. You are about to embark on what could be the most life-changing and fun adventure of your life. Have fun!

You are welcome, Mrs. J. I see you are very new to Second Life. There is a lot to learn. I am still learning - I have been in SL for five years There are videos, and tutorials, for some things on the Second Life official Knowledge Base. Here is the link... http://community.secondlife.com/t5/English-Knowledge-Base/Video-Tutorials/ta-p/776295 Always remember, though, to return to these forums/answers for help. We don't all know everything, but everyone knows a little of something.

Welcome to Second Life Answers, Jami I am not 100% sure I understand what you are trying to say, but I do remember when a friend of mine owned a chunk of land that joined onto the adjacent sim, and it would seem sometimes that we would get "sucked", our avatars would glide in the air and then we would be in the sim next door! Is this what is happening to you? Ensure you know where your border of land is, where it meets with the sim, and do not build right up to, or walk right up to, the edge. If I have misunderstood, please explain more by clicking on "options" at the top right hand corner of your original post and "edit".

Find out where the root prims are for these self-replicating objects, and AR - via the inworld abuse reporting system. Live Chat and Support Tickets will undoubtedly either just close with no response, or you'll be advised to submit an inworld AR. However, LL would undoubtedly prefer it if you could speak to the person who owns the land on which the spamming self-replicating object is coming from; they need to know about the value of having auto-return on their land. Do not give up with the ARs, though. Be brief when you do submit an abuse report, ensure you have ticked the box to include a screenshot of the offending objects, get a screenfull of them, and stress to LL that you believe sim performance may be being affected by same. Good luck!

The only way to remove a skin, demo or otherwise, is to replace it with another skin.

Under Compatibility mode, put checkmark in the box Run this Program in Compatibility Mode for Windows XP (Service Pack 3). I also checked box for Run this Program as an Administrator. Good luck. This worked for me. That worked for me too, that's strange. Shouldn't Second Life fix this problem? How many other people are going around without a profile picture? Maybe Linden Lab would be able to fix this problem if it was possible. If everyone had identical systems, with identical RAM, identical operating systems, etc., etc., then it could be addressed. Not everyone is having this problem. I run Second Life on a machine with Windows Vista SP2, Phoenix, Firestorm, Viewer 3 all work absolutely fine, no problems with uploads at all. I also have laptop, Windows 8 operating system, skydrive installed, and can upload photos with no problems at all. What I am saying is, how do you expect Linden Lab to fix this for all, when by reproducing the problem for some and fixing it for those, it may throw things out for other residents, ie cause more problems than it cures. Only way we can remedy situations like this one, is to get our heads together on the forums and advise each other what works for our individual systems. I believe a lot of the LL employees run SL on Macs and work with Linux also, and they do try to repro problems as they arise in the Jiras.

Thank you for updating your post, Alanaisis. It looks like you may have done almost all you can do, and now is the time to contact Linden Lab Support department directly, although there is a possibility that your main account has a texture loading issue.

As you are using a laptop, are you using a wireless connection by any chance? You may have experienced no problems using wireless with Second Life in the past, but you have been quite lucky. Also, ensure you have plenty of spare RAM on your computer to run Second Life. Do you regularly carry out system maintenance? Maybe it is time to do a disk cleanup and defragment. You say you have good system specifications, and maybe your problem is internet connection. Check everything - available RAM, internet connection, do a ping test (look on google for pingtest site), and bear in mind also iCade's splendid answer also.
