As I said I know it’s not a great gamming PC. I had already been to both of the links you gave me before updating to 7. I debated about just buying a new PC instead of spending the money for Windows 7. But the video cards in SL’s system requirements don’t seem to be made anymore so it’s hard to know if a current one is “better” than one in their list and there are so many that absolutely will not work. I would not have minded spending $600 0r $700 for an Intel i5 CPU and trade DDR2 RAM for DDR3 but to find out I needed to spend another 2 to $400 if I guessed wrong on the GPU just for this one game was a little much. It would be nice if SL would update their system requirements. Thanks for the response though but I’ll just limp along with Firestorm x64. The only reason I wanted the SL viewer is to help a noob out once in awhile anyway.

I just updated from XP to Windows 7 home premium 64 bit and the Linden viewer will not load to the point of the login screen. All I get is the outline of a new window. The whole system becomes very slow or non-responsive to the point of having to pull the plug. I never had any problems when running it with XP. AND FIRESTORM x64 (bit) RUNS JUST FINE. The device manager says my graphics driver is current but Intel’s site has drivers specific for Win 7 64 bit but the install fails saying it’s not validated for my computer to go to the computer manufacturer. I go there (HP) and the driver they have is the same already installed that is supposed to be for Windows 7. Yes I know it’s not a great gamming machine but it ran the both the Linden and Firestorm viewers with Windows XP and it still runs Firestorm with Windows 7 but not Linden’s viewer. So I guess I’ll never run Linden’s viewer again.
