sorry to be a pain but its very annoying when SL just keeps crashing. In between my 1st to threads I've worked out the problem login in was a firewall problem. Its all very confusing trying to work out why I cant play for more than a few minutes. It could be something as simple as my graphic card over heating as one of you said in reply to someone else with a similar problem. I've just managed to stay on for a lot longer the last time I used SL. When the fan started I made sure I gave my laptop as much ventilation as pos and it seems to have worked, so far. So finger crossed. We all have to start somewhere and I've had a lot of problems starting lol! Now I've put a new outfit on and I've gone bold!!! any ideas? Save a drink for me there's far too many for the three of you!..Natalie x

I have had problems with my firewall. Could they be connected?

I've now tried all the above and still no luck. This really is annoying me now. HELP!! would still not get past the "handshake" even with both windows and my security firewall turned off. I've opened all ports in the list also but still no good

Hi, Thanks fot taking the time out to answer. I have looked at this before and to be honest I don't have the technical know how to do any of it. Been trying for hours now. looks like fun but I don't think I will be able to use it. Worked for about 3 minutes and then just froze and I've been locked out ever since. Natalie x

Aww thanks so much for taking the time out to answer. Tried it but still did not work unfortunately. Guess I'll have to give up now. Been trying for hours. Froze after 3 minutes and have been trying on on off since then. Natalie x

I only joined a few hours ago and I can't login. I get "waiting for regional handshake" I'm using XP. I haven't been able to login for over 8 hours now. Any ideas please
