[SLv2 not opening in Win7 64-bit]

wow...just...wow; I powered on my laptop (the 64-bit Win7 Home), launched SL in compatability mode (Windows XP Service Pack 2)....and it runs...it actually runs! I changed nothing at all. All i did was completely shut down my laptop and powered it back on. I changed nothing at all but the compatability mode.

BUT...

 

When i go to login, it starts and connects, BUT, it crashes when the graphics load. I tested this issue with the graphics settings at Low, Medium, and High. They all end the same, failing way...

 

And.........I'm bored....

I just re-installed Windows 7 Professional 32-bit on another desktop computer of mine, installed SL viewer 2/3 and Firestorm, same result. and I have a nVidia GeForce GTS 250 graphics card installed on it. I also tried an old Matrox card i had back in 2000, same thing...

So much for a common denominator...

Okay, I completely disabled & uninstalled my Intel HD graphics and only have my ATI Radeon HD 6850 installed as my default and primary graphics driver. I tried every compatability mode while running as admin. Everything on my laptop, driver-wise, is updated, I even rolled back some of the drivers to see if earlier versions worked. Still nothing...This seems almost rediculous for Second Life to not run on Mobile Intel HD Graphics. Why is SL the only game that has issues with onboard graphics cards? This problem should've been taken care of a long time ago...

But I also have the Radeon HD 6850M, isnt that separate from the Intel HD Graphics?

...Still not working, if anyone could help that would be awesome...bump...

I tried using a third party client viewer (firestorm-beta-mesh) to see if it was the original client viewer and not my laptop and Firestorm does the same thing, so I dont know what is wrong with my laptop, its brand new; i got it from the factory 5 days ago...

I would try a couple things some where already mentioned i believe.

 

1. If you have a relatively fast internet connection, try increasing your bandwidth in the Preferences>Network 

section.

2. If you have a beefy graphics cards try upping your sculptie render settings  to 3 or 4 they are found here 

Advanced>Debug Settings>RenderVolumeLODFactor

3.Bring your draw distance in some so your graphic card isnt working so hard.

 

HTH,

And no error message is displayed, i just click on the viewer and my mouse turns into the loading loading circle mouse for about 10 seconds and then just stops, nothing pops up at all...

I downloaded the Second Life Viewer 2 and installed it on my Windows 7 Home 64-bit Laptop, (it installed as a 32-bit program) and when i go to open the client it does not open. I opened the Task Manager and watched the program open and when i click on the viewer, but after two seconds of the viewer loading, it stops and nothing happens. I know my laptop surpasses the minimum requirements. So what seems to be the problem?
