Go to your Developer menu. If you don't have that on your top menu bar, first put the Advanced menu up there with CTRL+ALT+D, then the Developer menu with CTRL+ALT+Q. Then go to Develop/Show Info, and UNcheck "Memory."

I will add that you should abandon XP as soon as possible. Most programs (with the possible exception of some games) will run under Windows 7 or higher, if you run them in Windows Compatibility Mode. XP is dead and unsupported by Microsoft. It contains security vulnerabilities that will never be patched. I loved XP too, but I have gone to Windows 7 long, long ago, and never had to look back.

That actually sounds pretty good for a laptop. I have a four year old ASUS laptop with lower specs than those, and it runs SL quite well.

Calling Mr. Peabody! Unfortunately, SL does not have a Wayback Machine...

ROFL!!! You rock, Maddy.

Be darned sure it IS in the public domain. A lot of people think that just because something is on the internet, it's in the public domain...this is absolutely untrue.

Besides regular groups, some stores have "subscribers" that you can click. Once you have "subscribed" you will get notices and ads from the store or club, without having actually joined a group or used one of your available group slots. Some stores have BOTH a store group and a subscriber. You can leave the group, but you will continue to get ads from the subscriber until you return to the store and click it again to unsubscribe.

Alwin and Maddy are right, but for the history to exist at all you must first have enabled chat logging in Me/Preferences. There, you can turn on logging of both local chat and IMs, saving them to your hard drive. You can specify where they will be saved. Once you have this turned on, simply browse to the folder you specified in Preferences. Each IM will be logged in a file called Avatarname.txt, where "Avatarname" is the name of the avatar or the group you had the IM conversation with. Each time you open a new IM with them, this file will be added to. Local (or nearby) chat is in a file named chat.txt. Over time, this file can become so large it is unwieldy. I open mine about every three months, cut the oldest three months of chat and save it to a new file, labeled (for example) oldchat3Q2015.txt. This keeps the chat file to a manageable size. If you ever do a clean install of your viewer, your log files will be deleted if you have used the default file location for them. I specify a folder outside of the standard location to keep this from happening. Another issue with leaving it in the default location (username\apps\roaming) is that this is by default a "hidden" location. To see it, you'll have to go to Control Panel/Personalization/Tools/Folder Options/View, and check Show Hidden Files, Folders, and Drives.

One part of your information is incorrect. If you use PayPal or Skrill, you don't have to link BOTH a credit card and a bank account to them. One or the other is sufficient. One caveat if you use the bank account option: you must be sure to keep enough money in the PayPal or Skrill account to pay charges from LL. They will not wait several days for money to wend its way from your bank account, to PayPal, to them. They demand immediate payment.

Sigh. It's "WEREWOLF." Not "warewolf" and not "warwolf." Or you may use the more general term, "lycanthrope" which covers all sorts of creatures who can change shape from human to animal...werebears, weretigers, werechickens, loup-garous, and, yes, werewolves, to name but a few. By the way, no one can "turn you into a werewolf." You can only change avatars by doing it yourself. So what you really mean is, "someone talked me into changing to a werewolf avatar." It's easy to change to other avatars, as KarenMichelle pointed out in response to your other post.

And you are not a "warwolf." The term is "werewolf" and it is pronounced "wear-wulf."

You can't make a new system folder, but there are ways to organize and display your inventory to keep from having to always scroll down past the system folders to your "regular" folders. With the gear icon in your inventory window, uncheck "sort system folders to top." Then begin the name(s) of the folders you want to have on top with a number or a special character like * or #. Or use the system folders as top level folders, and make subfolders within them. My "Body Parts" system folder contains folders for shapes, skin, eyes, eyelashes, nails, mesh hands, mesh feet, hair, and my collection of nonhuman avatars. I have over 55,000 inventory itema, and I only6 have five "non system" folders at the top level of my inventory. Everything else is in sub folders within the system folders. Use a second inventory window to aid in sorting. Click the suitcase icon in the inventory window to open another "instance" of it. Put the two windows side by side, but scroll one down to one part of your inventory and the other up to the part where you are moving things.

It's either a connection problem or a corrupt item you're wearing. Since your inventory isn't fetching either, I vote for a connection problem. Try these first: If you use a wifi connection, don't. Hook up an ethernet cable instead. If you are using wireless internet (3G, 4G), don't. Switch to a DSL, cable, or FIOS internet service provider. Switch to the free Google public DNS servers. Instructions here: https://developers.google.com/speed/public-dns/docs/using?hl=en Turn off your internet modem and router...in fact, turn your computer off too. Let everything sit for five minutes. Turn your system back on and let it reboot. Try logging in to a quiet, empty region like Heckendorf or Pooley. If none of those work, see here for more things to investigate: http://blog.nalates.net/2011/10/26/troubleshoot-your-sl-connection/ EDIT: Dammit, beaten again by Rolig, the World's Fastest Typist!

I am not sure that LL ever did act on notices of IP infractions submitted via ARs, which may be why they took it off the list. The only person who has any legal "standing" to complain is the creator whose items have been infringed. The correct procedure, if you notice copybotted items, is to send a notecard to the creator, with as much information as you can provide...the place encountered, when encountered, object owner, object creator, etc. If the creator chooses, they can then file a DMCA notice.

There isn't a specific section for parcels for rent on private estates. You can sublet your parcel on an estate, provided the estate owner allows this practice...there's no inherent prohibition. But it's not done very often, for several reasons. 1. The main reason is that you are competing with your estate owner. By the very nature of things, she can rent a parcel to your prospective tenant for less than you can, and provide that tenant with more control over their parcel. So you are at a big competitive disadvantage. 2. If you have multiple residents on one land parcel...whether you put them side by side or stacked up on top of each other in the sky...they all must share the parcel's music and media streams. This can potentially lead to "fighting over the remote." (This is a problem more in prospect than in practice. I operate a high rise condo that has up to five tenants sharing a parcel and nobody has ever complained to me about the neighbors' media choices.) 3. When you have multiple residents on one parcel, you cannot take advantage of the land's "privacy" feature. Your neighbors will be able to cam into your home and see what you and your friends are up to. 4. Prim limits. You can only allow your tenants a portion of the land's capacity for their objects. You will have to adjust your rental fees to reflect the prims you can afford to offer your tenants. If you want to be a landlord, in my opinion your best bet is to buy a big parcel on the Mainland, subdivide it, and rent it out...or several small parcels, scattered here and there. Unless, of course, you can afford to buy an entire private estate region and set up as an estate owner.

As Syo says, you can't, not really. Some skins look better with your shape than others...try lots of demos until you find one that works well with your shape. Even so, you will probably have to tweak your shape a little bit. For example, Skin A may make your lips look too full. Tweak your facial features in Appearance to bring the lips back to where you look like "you" again. The new mesh replacement heads get around this problem by covering your old head shape with the mesh attachment one. Then they will have a HUD, and possibly third party appliers, to create or modify their makeup and skin tone. But mesh heads and bodies have their own problems and limitations. Don't make a big investment in mesh body replacements merely to get around the skin/shape interaction of the traditional avatar body.

Any of several things may have happened. 1. It was a Premium account, your credit card expired, and LL could not collect on your charges. After some period of being unable to get paid, they'll delete the account. 2. Someone got hold of your password, maybe because you fell for a phishing scam. They took all your money and then deleted your account, just because they could. 3. Your account was used, by you or by someone who got access to it, to commit serious Terms of Service violations, and it was deleted by Linden Lab. 4. A roommate, family member, or someone who has access to your computer, logged in and deleted your account. This is quite easy to do if you left "remember my password" checked or if your browser or password manager logs you in to the site automatically. To find out what happened, and whether anything can be done about it, you'll need to file a Support Case using the Help/Support link at the top of the page. EDIT: Solved? Great! But don't keep us in suspense...what was the problem?

There are MANY organizations in Second Life that offer classes! Some are just role play. Others, like Caledon Oxbridge University and NCI, offer classes in Second Life subjects like how to use the build tools and inventory management. Still others offer classes in Real Life subjects, like languages or philosophy. Contact the group that interests you and ask them about their classes.

One addition to what Syo said. I use PayPal too, and it's verified by linking it to a bank account, not a credit card. BUT! If you do this, you must be careful to always have enough money in the PayPal account to cover payments to LL. Linden Lab will not wait patiently for money to be transferred from your bank account, to PayPal, to them. They demand immediate payment.

This is the sort of thing that happens when you are an early adopter of new software. The people who make your graphics card, and printer, and everything else that needs drivers have to make new drivers that work with the new operating system. Both Nvidia and AMD have come out with driver updates for Windows 10, but the point is, they are all NEW. New OS, new driver software...and there are bound to be bugs. Roll back to Windows 7 or 8 and wait six months before trying Windows 10.

Click My Settings up at the top of the web page, then Social Media. You'll see a page that includes a place to upload an image from your hard drive. You may need to experiment a bit with image size.

Be sure you are using a viewer that supports the new "viewer managed Marketplace" (VMM)

You can add a Display Name by editing your Profile, and you can change that once per week if you want. But you can't change your user name, and there is no way to hide it from people who want to see it. It can't be pronounced, but "j8105204" is pretty inoffensive. Still, If you really cannot stand your user name you can delete your account, go back, and sign up again with a new user name.

In addition to Rolig's comments... If you are used to the performance of other PC games, with framerates of 60 fps or more, you can forget about SL ever performing like that. Most games have two things going for them, lag-wise. They download huge amounts of content to your local hard drive when you're looking at the preview video for the upcoming level. And their textures and meshes are created by a team of professionals who know all the tricks for optimizing content for fast performance. Second Life, on the other hand, is mostly user-generated content, and most users don't give much thought to optimizing content for performance. Moreover, the world has to be continuously downloaded to your graphics card. Because all of us are constantly changing our builds in world, there's no way to just download a region to your hard drive once and for all. Lower performance is the price we pay for having a resident-created virtual world.

Ozzie, I use this one. It has lots of configuration options. My only gripe is that it's No Copy so you have to buy additional machines if you need to cover more area(s). https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/DL-Fog-Machine-v10-Fogger/131194
