I'm sorry I don't have the answer, butI wanted to let you know that I'm having the same problem. Ever since I installed the newest viewer this has been happening. There's got to be something wrong with SL. I don't think we both have computer issues, it's too much of a coincidence. I have been playing just fine without the 'break' that you took, but as I said, the new viewer has me crashing constantly. I hope SL addresses this and admits that there is something wrong with their program.
