so I tried on my friends old computer which is running ubuntu and everything is ok, just a bit slow so I could have adjusted the settings down to make a difference but the point is you don't need such a fab computer to run SL so I tried to play it on my PC using Ubuntu linux os but cant open the archive prob cos it is 64 bit My guess is with well used windows there has been a DLL file changed and I don't have a clue what to do about that, or there is something in the open gl settings. What really bugs me is that windows makes you create a restore point and then wiped over it with the screw up as soon as it possibly can. I think I am going to see if MS will let me wipe the drive and reinstall the OEM again unless anyone has a better idea

Trust me when I tell you. I am in the lucky position of just buying a brand new laptop. the spec isn't quite as good as my pc but thats laptops for you. I haven't really been anywhere of installed much with the laptop except for SL and I can play Sl like Im playing battlefield 2 no lag moves fast scenery comes up right away. graphice are photo quality. locks up if you fly or tele in realms but I suspect its supposed to. (By the way, Samsung I5 2core 2.4g 6gb-1033mhz ram w7 2gb Grafics card. My desktop stays grey for a matter of mins then the avatar wont move then after about 2 mins starts to remember key presses and wanders off at about 3fps. anyway you get the idea. Desktop is amd 2core 2.6 ghz 8gb ram (speed I thinf 866mhz) w Vista 1gb grafics Asus mb internet is 2mb which is ok and same for both. in the same 5 mins I can log in to SL on either machine and I can safely rule out SL as the problem in this case I tried phoenex but still as laggy it has to be a compatability issue or anothew program affecting I have been through with cccleaner disabled all startups bar essential, beats me I tried installing on fujitsu siemens lifebook which is I3 2.27, 512 graf 4gb ram and w7 and it runs not glitchy at low detail as I would expect from a slower computer you can play it but Im a bit spoilt after the samsung

If I play on my laptop (samsung 2core 2.4ghz 6 gb ram 2gb GC Win7) no lag whatsoever like playing oblivion. If I play on my desktop I can't do anything it is so slow (AMD 2core 2.4 GH 4gb ram 1gb GC Vista) I suspect it has more to do with the computer than SL because my comp is much slower now than when new. I wish I could wipe the HDD and reinstall OS. I've had min16 MS updates everyday since installing new 7 on laptop so I expect that will be pretty laggy in a few weeks. I' gona try settings as above but I think it has more to do with cookies and installed programs looking for updates every 5 secs, slowing the pc down
