Why isn't the sandbox on Help Island signposted as such/ I only have someones word forit. II cannot get a boxed hat ot unbox or wear it. I needd to be sure I am in a sandbox to confirm that the procedure should work. The boxed hat is in my inventory but a right click does not show Wear on the Menu. Dragging it to the ground just produces a NO ENTRY SIGN. Dragging it to my body produces an arrow marker but that disappears when I unclick the mouse.

..but how do I find a sandbox!

I had a message saying there were protocol problems. In my case as a new user I had just 'installed' sedcondlife. A bit confused but I had downloaed the two items secondlife and secondlife viewer and assumed they were installed as most times a downloaded item automatically installs. I could not find secondlife in my programs and so accessed the site with my firefox browser. OK so far. Opened and account and after having trouble finding it, clicked on the link in the top lh corner to enter secondlife. Up came the message from firefox with a protocol problem. I gave up. However the next day I went to my control panel to delete second life program and it wasn't there.! I found the setup.exes in my download folder and ran both. Now a shortcut to secondlife viwer appeared on my desktop. So if you have this error just check the programs are installed. The fact you can open account does not mean that they are.

Downloading the software there seemed to be a program and a viewer. I could not tell vfior sure that I had successfully installed the viewer. I read Getting Started and attempted to change my appearance. This told me to click on icon I could not find but may appear only when I enter ssecondlife. It was a while before I saw the faint legend in the top rh corner for this. Clicking it I was told a perorocol was missing.. Hopeless.
