Oh look, a clean and shiny place to play again......Weeeeeeeeeeeee Inserts: [funny picture of kids playing go fish in a clean and pretty bedroom] YAY, as long as i host my own pictures at my own blog site I can link them into my posts here. My oh my...all my previous images are no longer available to me to reuse in future posts nor are any of my previous posts that depend on an inserted image useful anymore.. Sigh.

1) As with all mainland you must abandon your existing Linen Home... from https://community.secondlife.com/t5/English-Knowledge-Base/Linden-Homes/ta-p/700103#Section_.3 Abandoning or changing your Linden Home To change your choice of Linden Home type, you must abandon your current Linden Home and then register for a new one. To abandon your Linden Home: Choose World > About Land and click the General tab. Click Abandon Land. After you confirm your choice, the land is removed from your account. Now if you wish, you can register for another Linden Home. Warning: Please use this reasonably: if you abandon and choose a new Linden Home five times in 24 hours, you are temporarily blocked from choosing another. You will need to wait 24 hours before registering again. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 2) If the land you own elsewhere is on a Private Estate that you lease from another SL Resident then continue by abandoning any and all Mainland Parcels that you may own.. from: https://community.secondlife.com/t5/English-Knowledge-Base/Abandoned-land/ta-p/846143#Section_.3 What is abandoned land? Abandoned land is a mainland parcel that has been returned to Linden Lab by the previous owner. How to abandon land Open the World menu and select About Land. The About Land window opens. In the General tab of the About Land window, click Abandon Land. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 3) Make sure to reduce you land Tier Level back to zero and then following these instructions: from https://community.secondlife.com/t5/English-Knowledge-Base/Premium-membership/ta-p/1054477#Section_.7.3 Downgrading or canceling your premium membership Downgrading from premium to a basic membership To downgrade your premium or Concierge account to basic, follow these steps: Log into the Second Life website. On the lef side of the screen, select Premium Membership. The Change Membership Plan screen opens, displaying a chart of Membership plans and prices. Select Basic Account. Click Save Changes. Your new plan becomes effective at your next billing date. Warning: If you downgrade to a basic account, you will lose all the land you own, and you will no longer have access to your weekly Linden dollar stipend or live chat support. Make sure to sell all your land before you downgrade! You may also wish to check your group land contributions and make arrangements to keep your group's land holdings in good standing. Note: If you are a member of more than 42 groups, you will not lose any group memberships when you downgrade. However, you may not join any new groups with a basic account until you reduce your group memberships to fewer than 42. Canceling your premium account If you're thinking about canceling your account, consider leaving it active with a basic membership, which costs nothing to maintain. If at some point in the future you should choose to revisit Second Life, your avatar and your inventory will be here waiting for you. You can always update or discontinue your membership plan by going to the Cancel Account page after logging in with your Second Life username and password. This link is also accessible through the Accountsection on the left of your Dashboard. Once logged in, find the Cancel Account button at the bottom of the page. Your account will remain open until your billing review date, as account maintenance fees are paid in advance. Tip: If you want to keep your name for possible future use but don't want to pay the US$9.95 reactivation fee, simply downgrade to a basic account. You may still be charged for land If you cancel or downgrade your account from premium, you may still be charged for your current month's land holdings. As stated on the Land Pricing & Use Fees page: Thus you are always charged for your premium membership and the maximum amount land you owned during the current billing cycle, regardless of whether you cancelled your account before the end of the month. Note: When you cancel your account, it remains active until the end of your payment period. You may still log in and use Second Life during this time. For instance, if you buy a yearly Second Life membership and cancel it the next day, you are still be treated as a premium member for the next year!

This issue is experienced when your PCs local session inventory state is borked.. This article is well respected for both SL Viewer & Firestorm Users: http://wiki.phoenixviewer.com/fs_missing_inventory

Interesting. Let me offer possible reasons for your issues. 1) The error that you saw in the Windows 8.1 Desktop "Not able to create GL Rendering Context" specifically indicates that the Graphics Card in the computer does not have the correct or current drivers to support the OpenGL Standard. Make sure that you are using the latest drivers available from the Graphics Card/Chipset manufacturer. Since Windows 8.1 is all but ignored by Microsoft and most Graphics Chip Set manufacturers this may be difficult. 2) Your Windows 10 laptop may be one of the affordable, but limited in features, products dumped into the marketplace this last year. They usually have older [but Windows 10 supported] Intel Graphic Chipsets to keep the costs low. If it has an Intel GPU 4000 or better then it should be able to run Second Life at a low Graphics Quality Setting if you allow the Microsoft Update patches to be all applied. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Interesante. Permítanme ofrecer posibles razones para sus problemas. 1) El error que vio en el escritorio de Windows 8.1 "No se puede crear GL Contexto de representación" indica específicamente que la tarjeta gráfica en el equipo no tiene los controladores correctos o actuales para admitir el estándar de OpenGL. Asegúrese de que está utilizando los controladores más recientes disponibles en el fabricante de la tarjeta gráfica / chipset. Puesto que Windows 8.1 es casi ignorado por Microsoft y la mayoría de los fabricantes de chips de gráficos, esto puede ser difícil. 2) Su portátil de Windows 10 puede ser uno de los asequibles, pero limitado en las características, los productos arrojados en el mercado este año pasado. Por lo general, tienen más antiguos [pero compatibles con Windows 10] Intel Graphics Chipsets para mantener los costos bajos. Si tiene una GPU Intel 4000 o superior, debería poder ejecutar Second Life con un ajuste de calidad de gráficos bajo si permite que se apliquen todos los parches de Microsoft Update.

Microsoft has single handedly made both Internet Explorer 11 & Edge useless for accessing the Second Life Market Place [as well as a few other older search enabled websites]. This started at the end of 2015 after a series of non-removable patch maintenance fixes. The issue seems to be related to the ability of the browser(s) to match a response transaction from SL Servers to any particular pending Search request. The effect is what most experienice as a endless wait for the page to update with requested search results ir to display results when it occasionally works. This is an issue for IE11 on Windows 7, Windows 8.0 & Windows 10. I have been researching this for a year and tested all Microsoft posted solutions with no positive results whatsoever. The blame keeps on shifting in the various soultion sets offered yet nothing ever changes. Worse yet, IE11 & edge as a close 2nd is not the most "Hanging" Internet Browser in history. I do this testing on an all 100% Microsoft PC using only Microsoft software with no additional "Blamed" Anti-virus / anti-malware software on it. Sad t say I must finally agree with many of my SL Answers brothers & sisters that IE is all but dead.

A few additions: 1) Estate Owners, Region Owners & Estate Managers can request Immediate Region Restarts from Linden Lab Support. Additionally, residents may also request region restarts when a region is demonstratively acting flaky. 2) If an estate Owner has fallen arears in payments one or more of his regions in an Estate, the residents may petition LL by opening a Support Case requesting a region to be made available and making sure to monitor their email daily to see the day LL will restore the affected region and for how long it will be available to recover rezzed no-copy items.

NOTE: This information applys to those of you in the United States Only... Actually is is not illegal in any legislated or ordinance form in virtually all of the United States. There is an explicit grant of license to play any purchased performance with a further understanding that a public performance license is required for hosting venues in real life. In other countries there mat be actually ordinances about this. What is allowed is enforcement of public play licensing requirements via monitoring by licensed organizations representing BMI/ASCAP/SCSAC as the licensed Royalty distribution agencies at very specifically defined venues. These include the standard terrestrial venues such as stores, clubs, bars, restaurants, malls, wedding facilities, etc. Terrestrial Radio play is monitored by another organization with a similar responsibility to document plays and to distribute licensing payments and subsequent distributions to the copyright holders fo the music. Terrestrial Radio Stations that also broadcast digitally via the Internet have additional licensing requirements. Casual broadcasting on a private IP address/port does not automatically make this a public broadcast. Further, listening to your own stream via your Internet enabled media devices [iP Radio, Android Phone using any IP Radio application like Lumiya ] is allowed within the existing vague fair-play language of existing language by omission of specifically. If you make that broadcast available to the Internet at large then you are in clear violation of Internet Radio Station broadcasting industry standards. Technically and legally on a civil basis, the owner of the venue known as The SecondLife GRID, where various streams may be "hinted" on sub-divided parcels, is Linden Lab and they would be the entity that is exposed to the royalty collection and enforcement requirements. This is completely unsettled law! Your parcel may be a public place per-se but it is not included in the monitoring procedures of any the Royally Collecting organizations. A Virtual Club on a Virtual Grid also falls out of this perview as no language in existing law exposes it to the enforcement aspects. This said, 1) you should always legally own the music you play. 2) If you [Like Me] allow your programming to be publicly accessed by anyone on the Internet as a part of your own Internet Broadcasting for-profit or non-profit business then you need to get an annual license available for your music / performance royalty requirements available from several licensing agencies. I pay $675 in 2016 to an organization that collects for all 3 of the big copyright organizations in order to broadcast my music catalog on my Internet Station. 3) Casually playing music on your parcel is and has not been identified as a performance licensing vector in current copyright licensing language. This does not mean that it won't in the future. Further the existing exemption language may exclude these virtual venues based on virtual physical size. It's all a huge mess language-wise. Here is some additional reading for those interested...  P.S. As a side note I'd love to see a reasonable and easy to implement Royalty Collection system for Virtual Grids & Individual Virtual Venues. [The DJs are NOT liable for this royalty per current law] But it would be wonderful to have an easy way for a Venue Owner to be able to make a "micro" payment for these performances at venues with 65 or less listeners at them. have Linden Lab collect them and use these funds to offset the blanket licensing of all music performances in their GRID.

Darn it...My post was fouled out because of my links posted in it I'll clean it up and use a pic of the links to applicable reference sources...

Oh yes i understand. I know Germany has an evil enforcement arm as well as a few other EU members. I'm just covering the mess regarding Royalty Collection here in the USA. I've barged my way into a few freinds legal businesses to have them help me try to pin down specifics on the non stated policy here regarding Virtual Venues. I've been actively researching this for 18 months in regards to the US Exposure.

Short answer: NO Slightly longer answer: Feel free to listen to any music source on your own parcel, You can even have friends over to have a listen as well while you all chat or even dance. The Answer You don't want to wade through: [Just kidding I have posted this in detail in the Forums several times] Basically, the bottom line is that there are no music police looking to see where the music you stream on your own Parcels on the Grid is coming from or whether the songs are annotated correctly. BMI/ASCAP/SCSAC have never expended any manpower in SL to catch Music streaming activities because they do not have any basis or authority to police this in the SecondLife Product Offering. The only one at risk is Linden Research based on fair use law as legislated in the United States. If Linden Lab is ever called to task for the Music Streaming happening on its GRID you can bet Music Streaming will end as a feature. P.S. This all said, stealing music is tacky so buy buy buy what you like to listen to. That grants you the right to play it on devices you own and onin your SL Parcel because your PC then plays it like a media device using the IP/Port URL Address. .

Specifically for SAM Professional... You will want to UNCHECK this option on your Encoder & Streamer configuration dialog for the specific stream you want to hide the song info.
