[microsoft surface pro]

Knowing how warm the Surface Pro gets when running games that are much less demanding, graphically, I'd be cautious not to overheat it.

I am not running SL on mine, but technically it works fine - with the right drivers and realistic expectations, re. graphics capabilities and WiFi connection.

[my second life page will not update]

Yes, same for me, friend list on my.secondlife.com is not up to date. In-world all is well, with the exception of the web based profile stuff coming from my.secondlife.com, of course.

I am afraid this may just be one of those things that will eventually 'fix itself'.

[Viewer 3.5.2 No Workee :-(]

No problem here going from 3.5.1 to 3.5.2.

I use OpenDNS (see https://store.opendns.com/setup/) and have never seen these name resolution (DNS) problems that are often reported here.

Hope this helps

[Group Chat]

Amen to that.

[BOUGHT LINDENS, NO LINDENS AND NO REFUND]

You should ask firstmetaexchange.com.

[Innocence Lost]

I really enjoyed watching this. Thanks for sharing your work.

[Gripe of the Day]

That is precisely how it worked for me!

 

I feel decalcified and degriped, my day is improved. Thank you

[Gripe of the Day]

Coffee advice from Melita, perfect!

[not able to download second life on my laptop which runs windows 8]

What happens when you try? Please describe, are perhaps any error messages shown?

 

Ah yes, the obligatory notice, please append to your first post by clicking Options > Edit

[Thanks for u,r answers,but I don,t want to delete all teleport history,only unwanted ones]

I have not tested it, but you might want to try editing the teleport history file, judging by the name, that might be where this information is stored.

On my PC, teleport_history.txt is located in the same directory as the chat logs etc.: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\SecondLife\<SL user name>

[wo bestätige ich meine volljährigkeit?]

Ich glaube die Altersangabe findet heute nur noch bei der Erstanmeldung statt, also wenn ein neues Konto eingerichtet wird. Zumindest sehe ich keine andere Moeglichkeit.

[can i play free?]

That has nothing to do with SL or the SL Viewer, but refers to your access and privileges on the computer you are trying to install it on.

You have to install the software using an account that has administrator access to the computer. Likely you have to log on using another account or have another person install the software for you.

[Ads on everything now?]

Well, I guess it is based on people's browsing habits

I see some ads for Versu, but mostly things related to items I have recently shopped for on the web, so clearly targeted. Hehe

[Hoax Busters]

Henceforth, the hoax busters service shall be known as ... SLopes!

[Holy spambots Batman!]

Amen!

[L$ and tax question]

Hard to answer any such question without even knowing in what jurisdiction you are.

Not that SLs board is a good place to ask for tax advice regardless of where you are.

[3 PC's on Windows 8 - Second Life doesn't work on any]

The SkyDrive problem is one that occurs when uploading and/or downloading files, it does not affect the launch or log on process to SL.

I use Win8, SkyDrive and SL just fine, with the exception of the known file up-/download issue.

Not sure what to tell you about the display driver issue, if you are up to date and still get that prompt, sorry. Perhaps worth trying a more recent driver that may be available as beta but not yet fully released?

[Adobe Photoshop Freebie (and other stuff) on Adobe website]

Yep, see http://blogs.adobe.com/conversations/2013/01/update-on-cs2-and-acrobat-7-activation-servers.html

[How can I find my password? Is it on my hard drive somewhere?]

If you have the password stored in the web browser as you say, then you should be able to read it from the browser's password store.

For example in Firefox go to Options > Security > Saved Passwords or for IE, at least on my PC, go to Control Panel > Credential Manager.

Hope this helps

[I have just signed up to Second Life - Windows 8 issues!!!]

And just to clarify/elaborate, no Second Life viewer, whether from Linden or from a third party is available as a "New UI" style app from the MS Store, so for those running Windows 8 RT, sorry, no can do.

[Windows 8]

It's been working fine on my Windows 8 PC, no problem whatsoever.

 

[Does Linden Labs have a plan to create a Windows 8 tile for their program?]

While I am not certain about it, I am pretty sure that the start screen tile was automatically created when I installed the SL viewer on my Windows 8 PC.

If the start screen tile is missing, it is quite simple to add it:

• right-click on the start screen, then click on 'All Apps' in the bottom tool bar.
• In this screen of all apps, find the Second Life viewer, for example by simply typing 'sec'.
• right click the icon to select it, then click 'Pin to Start' in the bottom tool bar

Done.

I have not run into even the slightest problem with the client install or SL in general on my Windows 8 PC.

Hope this helps.

[FPS drop appears again in 3.3.4]

What forces you to update? Do you realize that is a setting you can control:

Me > Preferences > Setup > Software updates : Download and install updates manually

 

Links to older client downloads can be found in the prior release notes, see http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Category:Release_Notes

Download 3.3.3 from http://download.cloud.secondlife.com/Viewer-3/Second_Life_3-3-3-260300_Setup.exe

[how can I tell if a person has created two accounts in Second Life?]

Hi DarkAngel,

Ask in the forum, get your answer in the forum, it's how it works.

The way to know how many accounts someone has is to ask them. Of course they might lie. In other words, there is no reliable way to know for sure.
