Mayalily

Okay Peggy. I sent you a message about our computer because I was wondering if there is an Nvidia place to check what graphics cards are compatible with one's computer? Also, do I need this username thing? Or should I just delete that username stuff in this thread altogether?

Okay. What graphics card would u recommend if I go to purchase a new graphic's card? Also, it's weird because it liked invisiprims before but not now. Thanks so much for everybody's help! That built-in browser is awesome! I just woke up from my nap. I had such a headache, but thankfully my headache is better. ETA: Do I need to create a username or some usernames? Is that necessary?

Okay, update on this: On my first log in after clicking use built-in browser things were a bizzilion times better! However, I could see grass textures that were bleeding into my SL house. So I cleared everything out of my SL home, and sent IM to landlord. I couldn't see those grass textures before and that house needs to be fixed or I need to be moved while landlord fixes the house 'cuz that was my start up location and it wasn't very good. Kind of sucky actually. Next, the only preference I couldn't change was the graphics slider bar. I had bumped it up one to mid I think it's called, but that bar is frozen now at LOW and won't budge. And, that's fine with me as long as it works, but I do have a long time rezzing sims. I don't know if my next step is to download something for my graphics card? Also, another thing that is not rezzing now are those things with those invisprims. Why, I don't know? I had some of those invisprim items in my SL home and they wouldn't work at all now nor on other sims would invisprims rezz correctly. SL doesn't like invisiprims now for some reason for me. I need a nap. God bless again!

lol no probably not. I haven't even read this whole thread yet, not to mention I'm reading these other threads on this Viewer 2 new download. There's a lot of threads here about it! Anyhow, I am able to log into SL. My home and that club with scripted floor are the things that are screwy (all other sims are pretty much okay and some are very good). I tried to send that club a message yesterday about their floor, but their isn't much I can do about it 'cuz it keeps crashing/freezing me because of their new floor. So... if they don't want to change it, I need a new hangout and probably a move from my home. I do think I need to find a new home because of those particles that got in there, or else just be homeless for awhile. Here's my graphics card: Nvidia Geforce 6150 LE, and my memory is 1024 MB if that helps. Thanks so much for your help thus far! We're getting somewhere! I also clicked use built-in browser to see if that helps anything. God bless and thanks so much!

Okay, I did just clear my cache under preferences and rebooted my computer. And no, I didn't see any cache/username thing, but I am going back in to check again. I'm writing this quick note to let you know I was able to log on, but textures are all screwed up, but at least I'm logging in and can change preferences. (Though soon my sim where my home is may do it's regular checking sim thing that is does). If I need to go to this Smith, Lime or Aqua thing, do I just type in one of those names? Just like this Aqua for example. I'm on Viewer 2 and I think we need a separate forum for viewer 2. It might help.

Yeah, I did that once. But, yesterday, it was like I was stuck in limbo; half there, half not, and some of the options tools wouldn't work; it was like they were frozen.

Deleted post: Not important.

I got a message that SL wants to set me to default settings. However, when I looked in my preferences, the only thing that changed was my graphics were set to low. I can't log in yet to SL, but I'm going to try again. I did get on for a little bit yesterday, but it was like I was stuck in limbo; half there, half not. I'm also getting another message about some software deal thing. I don't know what it is. Anyhow, two reports were sent to some software company through Microsoft. Dunno know what's going on with that yet. It might help, it might not.

Okay, I'll do this step first and then I'll get back to you, but most likely in the morning.

Yes, this is the one I have been reading. Ah, I do add my user name Mayalily once I found out exactly how to do that. Should I care if I use my chat logs? I don't plan on ever reading them again. I guess I could lose my chat logs if doing this works and is sucessful. It seems complicated tho and I'm leary of doing this because I'm afraid of making things worse. I think I need to take some deep breaths, and then I'll get back to you in the morning. Thanks for all the help so far, and the info on the built-in browser; built-in browser sounds better perhaps? I tweek here n there and sometimes I make things worse. My problems started with the new Firefox download (I think an add-on got in there) and when particles rezzed in my SL home. However, I am almost at a standstill now, but can log in for a little while to tweek my preferences. Though I had no success with tweeking preferences today. I lowered my bandwidth, and got a message that SL was setting me to default settings; however, I was not reset to default settings when I looked in preferences, and I kept crashing, freezing, couldn't move on some sims, though I think that sim has scripts running that are crashing me, but I love that place and the people. But they rezzed a scripty floor and my computer goes bezerk. ETA: I was able to move better today, but not at the place I usually go to hang out that recently rezzed a very scripty floor. I need a time out to read all this stuff. If I take baby steps, I might figure this all out.

We don't have any log-in name for our computer? I just turn on the computer, click the Firefox icon and I'm on the internet. Same with the Google Chrome I just downloaded. Where would this mysterious username be found? Because we don't have one. Not to my rl bf's knowledge nor my knowledge. We had an original email account for our cable but I don't remember that because I don't use email except very rarely because I hate dealing with the spam. So I don't even use emails, so it can't be that cable email name, can it? I truly have no idea about a username?

I have headache just thinking about this.

Okay, I guess I'm going to have to do this dreaded clear cache thing. I'm seen the standard copy and paste on how to do this, but did not bookmark it. I guess I need that standard copy and paste, but what do you mean by username? I have to put my username Mayalily in my cache? Also, does SL run better if you click on use the built-in browser? However, I'd like to know what the built-in browser is and how it works. Sorry to do this again, but SL not running at all for me now. Very sad. I guess I have to do this dreadful thing, but I'm not sure I'm going to be successful at it. However, let's give it a try. Need the copy and paste first and explanation of what username means exactly because I'm thinking people have multiple accounts, so how would that work? ETA: What username? I don't understand that.

Yeah, I'm gonna miss my Firefox, unless I remove and then try to download it again without the bug add-on thing that must have gotten in there. But this Google Chrome is fast!

Thank you, I found it! It's much faster and marketplace loads great! The tools are a little weird so I need to get used to them and find my bookmarks, etc. Thanks for all the imput so far!

Okay, computer dummie here. I tried to download Google Chrome but couldn't find the tool bar for Google Chrome... where is it? I have no tool bar for Chrome? I think I might try to download some form of IE, but I have Windows XP... what's a good one for that? (This is an important question because inside my SL viewer it has a box to check that says use my default browser and my default browser is and was Firefox (but I'd like to change my default browser because it's so slow for me now; it's almost worse than dial-up). We also have on our computer IE not downloaded if that makes sense. We undid MS IE for security reasons but this computer is getting to be a clunker now so I don't mind some form of IE now.) ETA: We haven't had IE installed for years and have been using Firefox for years with no problems 'til now.. so I'm not too familiar with IE anymore because we haven't used it nor had it even downloaded for years. ETA again: If anyone can send me an IM to help me through this, I'd appreciate it because I have no tool bar for Chrome, so I don't know what's up with that. I can't use a computer without a toolbar? ETA: My post is no diss against Microsoft. We were just trying to avoid some of the huge cyberattacks and viruses Microsoft was experiencing for awhile there, and then we got to love Firefox, but now I think I got some kind of add-on or something from the last Firefox download and it's messed up now. My SL was great with Firefox before their latest update. I also think it's possible that MS is experiencing less of these worms and cyberattacks because so many people are recommending IE. So, IE sounds like it's a lot more safe now, hopefully.

I've heard about this ruth hair fix thing. Someone told me I needed that, but I'm assuming they were on Phoenix because in my inventory in viewer 2, this ruth hair fix thing is not in there. And now I can say, thank goodness.

I've NEVER heard anyone rawr with an exclaimation point. :matte-motes-bashful-cute-2: /me blushes

I don't really like them. My body parts bounce around like jello; it doesn't look real at all. I may like it in the future when I get a lot of other more important things "tweeked" the right way for SL. I have a lot of work to do, and things to learn. So, physics are not a priority right now and I'm not going to bother with it right now. Bouncing around like jello looks ridiculous the way it is as it stands right now.

It's true what I said, I thought you meant flirting. But I wasn't completely sure. Oh, and you're welcome. It was an excellent post. /me rawrs at Storm.

I may be too young yet to know when I'll be "me", but I feel pretty comfortable as I am right now and I was born in late March of this year. I think I only want one avatar and won't change it, except for clothes and jewelry, etc., and will always be human. It's too hard for me to know because I am too young yet but I do kind of think I won't be changing my avatar... but I have no crystal ball either.

Your eyes are striking Luc, they truly are. I think your avatar photo is very, very...........ummmmmmmm... well, gorgeous.

Ha! I thought you meant flirting, so I was gonna wink at you. lol /me winks at Dillon ETA: Yes, it was a very good post by Dillon.

Yeah, sounds like a pain for you. Sorry to hear that. It could be there are other browers because Microsoft had so many monopoly issues. I'm not really sure? I learn new stuff every day about putters and to me a lot of stuff is over my head. But, I know I need a new browser for sure and asap.

Thanks, I'll look into it. Glad to know it's not just me getting this freaky message about connecting. I could wash my hair while waiting for it to connect. I don't want that anymore.
