Teleport to a different sim. If the problem continues, then it is something that you are wearing. Detach things until you find it. If the problem only happens on one sim, it is an object on the sim.

Both of these are realy impressive. The Botanical Gardens: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/The%20Botanical%20Gardens/192/59/38 The Shareta Infohub and tea garden: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Shareta%20Osumai/102/222/117

Draw distance has a big effect on your bandwidth load and on frames per second. Keep draw distance low, and turn off streaming music to reduce bandwidth. You can also limit the maximum bandwidth used in the viewer preferences settings, on "network settings".

I don't have Windows 8, but this is what I have read from others who have tried it: Phoenix viewer is not compatible, and likely never will be, as the developer is no longer supporting it. Most other viewers, including the official viewer, are compatible if you have the right combination of video card and drivers.

If you are using a 3rd party viewer, some of those allow you to disable "left click sitting" on objects. This is a security option you can turn on or off. It increases your security, but prevents you from using many objects with left clicks.

Possibly the location you are trying to log into is no longer on the grid? Try logging into a different sim.

Go to the link in Current Outfit or the link in the Outfits folder. Right click on either link, and select Find Original. It should highlight the location of the original object in your inventory.

If you have no money, look in your inventory at the bottom. Find the Libary folder, look in Clothing and you will find all the complete initial outfits (actually complete free avatars). Go up into your own Inventory folder and right click and make a new folder. Now go into the library folder left click and then Shift left click to highlight all the items inside the folder you want, copy and paste these items into your own folder.Now right click on your own folder and Replace Current Outfit. Your avatar will change to match. There are also some stores in world that give away free stuff (not just demos).

There have been some big improvements. Viewer 3 fixed most of the problems with Viewer 2, and mesh now rezes well and does not impact prim counts as much as before. It also moves better when worn as clothing. Also a lot of technical problems have been fixed. Encroaching prim return powers, avatar hiding, and sound/voice privacy have helped on residential areas on the mainland and some private estates. Materials with normal and specular mapping will come fairly soon. After a sharp peak in 2009 concurency fell in 2010 and then more or less leveled off. I suspect the drop was mostly bots going away. Second Life will be here for some time. No one knows how long. Enjoy it now for what it is.

Have you tried these hints? http://wiki.phoenixviewer.com/doku.php?id=bake_fail It says Phoenix viewer, but the process is simillar on most other viewers.

I teleported to the sandbox. Dee Linden is listed as the owner, and public building is turned off and auto-return is set to 0 (none). Possibly the group or owner fell behind on their tier payments and the Lindens re-possed the land?

Did you disable Plugins, Cookies, and Javascript in the Secondlife viewer? These are controled by the Preferences screen in your viewer.

I had this problem before. If you click on the option to read the TOS in your web browser, it seems to make the accept button become available. You have to click the view as a web page option quickly when the TOS first pops up.

Sinking into the ground can be caused by a conflict between two AO (animation overriders). Try detaching anything that could have animation in it (like shoes sometimes do).

There have been a number of reports of avatars suddenly wearing their entire inventory. Here are two web sites that give more information about what causes the problem, and some methods that can fix the problem: http://wiki.phoenixviewer.com/wearing_entire_inventory http://blog.nalates.net/2012/05/11/second-life-wearing-all-inventory/

I read about a year ago that Second Life does not run well on a secondary monitor. I don't have multiple monitors, but what they said was that if you have two monitors, you have to run Second Life on the primary monitor. That is all I can rember.

RGB numbers give the color of one point (one pixel). A skin or any texture on an object has thousands or hundreds of thousands of pixels. Skins are basically paintings. I think what you are trying to do is match some prim or sculpty attachment to your skin. Like prim feet or prim elf ears. This is hard to do. See if the skin maker sells matching accessories, or if another artist adverties that their attachments will match a specific skin. If not, just try on free demo attachments until you find one that comes close to matching (then buy the full version in that style).

I don't remember if someone else said this in a different thread, but there is a possibility he may have installed some kind of tracking/monitoring software on your real life computer. You might not be able to detect this. I suggest that you take your computer to a professional computer repair shop, and having them clean it or erase and re-imag it.

In addition to everything they said, there is one more cause of sudden lag or stuttering - when your avatar crosses a sim boundary. Each region (sim) is 256 m x 256 m. In many parts of Second Life, you can walk or fly between regions. When you do this, your avatar, and any script that you are wearing, has to be passed to the other region. This takes time and can cause lag. What you can do 1) Reduce the number of scripted items you are wearing, and the total number of running scripts on your avatar. You can get script meters on the marketplace to measure how many scripts you are wearing..2) It helps to reduce draw distance in your viewer preferences. The smaller your draw distance, the fewer objects and textures need to be downloaded and displayed.

Accordion is a Linden homes sim. It is up and running fine right now, I just teleported in and flew up in the sky..

I don't know if you are joking, but if you realy want the free premium rail handcar, you can still get it. Not from any of the premium vendors, you have to go inside the rail shed at Saminekim 30, 70, 50 and click rail handcar. Michael Linden will then sell you a copy for 0 Linden. You can rez your copy right outside the shed - this is a rez zone.

There is a limit on Alt-Click zooming and control 0 zoom, but there is no limit on flycamming. You need a properly set up joystick to use flycam. It does not have to be an expensive joystick, it just has to be properly set up.

That is a very old model of video card. It is going to be difficult to use in Second Life. I suggest you turn all your video settings down as low as possible. I suspect the cause of your FPS drop when you walk south, is a complex build located just south of your teleport location. When you turn around to walk south, the build comes into your field of view. You viewer sees the build and attempts to render it because it is within your draw distance. Reducing your draw distance may help.

If you have never used the new Direct Delivery system before, you need to buy something (anything) with Direct Delivery. You can buy the no cost Linden Direct Delivery bear on the marketplace. The first time you buy something with the new Direct Delivery syste, it creates new folders in your inventory and in your viewer. Then you are ready to go.

It could be this bug: https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/SVC-7902 Rezing objects has been a problem on small parcels and in skyboxes for a few weeks. Basically, the server thinks you are trying to rez the object on another parcel (where you don't have rights). Here are some possible workarounds: Wear the object, then drop it. Point your camera straight down at to place where you are going to rez. Just try to rez a simply plywood cube, over and over until you find a good spot in your house where you can rez.
