You are probably wearing something that is animating you. Check all your attachments.

the Z adjustment feature for height offset got disabled in a recent LL software update...it's not Firestorm's fault. However, LL has provided a (somewhat clunky) alternative. Go into Appearance/Edit Shape. Look in the Body section, and scroll down to the last slider. It's a new one called "hover". Adjust it from the default 50 to 51, or maybe 52. For more information on this feature, see my blog post, "Keeping Your Feet on the Ground"

Linden Lab almost NEVER gives refunds. However, you can give it a try. On Monday, call one of the Billing numbers below and discuss it with them. To improve your chances, go ahead now and create another account, with a user name that you prefer. Make it a Basic free account. Then when you call Billing, ask if your Premium membership can be transferred to this new account.

There are no limits. When you have more $L than you are comfortable with, sell some on the Lindex to increase the amount in your $USD balance. When you want to take some out, do a Process Credit transaction to transfer the money to PayPal. Frankly, your post sounds like a troll for suckers. "They're dumping money on us" does not happen in SL. And I have never heard of a "level 1, 2 enterprise".

Besides Rolig's great answer, there are tons of freebies to be had. Search "freebie" in the Marketplace and in world. Join the group "Fabulously Free in SL". Join groups that announce lucky chair and Midnight Mania offers. Go on hunts (sponsored scavenger hunts...google "Hunts Second Life" for links to many.)

The SSB changes have only been rolled out to about 144 regions (those running on the Le Tigre server channel). So unless you are trying to log on in one of those regions, SSB/A is not the problem. Try logging in to a different region. Try turning off and rebooting your DSL modem and your router, if you have one. Try a clean install of Firestorm.

Your video processor is incapable of running Ultra settings. From what you posted, I think it's an "embedded" graphics processor rather than a separate video card. Try updating the drivers first, but I think you're going to have to buy a graphics card.

A lot depends on your video card. If you are using a card that does not have Windows 8 drivers, your PC will default to the "generic" drivers. This will give you this driver error, plus miserable performance.

The i7 will work fine, but if you are on a budget I recommend the i5-3570K. The "K" means that the clocks are unlocked and it can be overclocked easily. Get a good cooler and compatible memory, at least 8GB and more is better.

Nope. Go ahead and make the alt.

SSB will not fix these issues. Reflections: check your antialiasing level. Poseballs: can you select it by dragging a selection box around it? Or, can you make it reappear by right clicking it?

You may need to file a support ticket.

At any given price point, you'll get more performance out of a desktop than a laptop. If you can put up with a desktop, I strongly recommend it. They tend to last longer too (better cooling!) The "best" gaming laptops are going to be over your $1,000 budget, too. However, I've had good luck with the ASUS laptops, you might look into them.

You can read the definition of "trolling" and decide for yourself whether whatever you did would fall under the label of "trolling". And you can learn a lesson from it, or decide that the club owner is an *ss and be angry about it. That's all up to you. What you really need to take away from this, though, is that in Second Life, THE LAND OWNER MAKES THE RULES. They can let in whoever they want, and ban whoever they want, for trolling, for being a jerk, or for NO REASON AT ALL. It's their land, they decide, and there's not a darn thing you can do about it, except maybe try not to behave obnoxiously at the next place you go to.

It means, don't come onto the group chat and announce an event at your club, a sale at your friend's store, or broadcast a request for money.

And a good thing, too! More merchants should stop using the marketplace, IMO. It would increase land use and tie for LL. It might even get LL to fix some of the bugs in the marketplace.

Linden Lab doesn't accept prepaid cards. However, one of the authorized $L resellers might. See a list of them here: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Linden_Lab_Official:Linden_Dollar_%28L$%29_Authorized_Reseller_Program

He didn't mute you by mistake, did he?

It might be part of a pose in your AO. Or maybe you are stuck from, say, holding a drink. Use Me/Stop Animating Me (in Firestorm, Avatar/Avatar Health/Stop Animations, or simply Avatar/Stop Animations.) See if that unclenches your hands. If not, try one of the free stop animations/fix deformations gadgets out there. There is one, a gray cone, near the arrival point at Caledon Oxbridge University, if you don't have one of your own.

You don't need an infohub. You can do the following: Subdivide your land into parcels. Each parcel should contain one point you wish to use as the teleport destination for that area. Stand where you want to establish a teleport point. In About Land/Options, Set the landing point Set teleport routing for the parcel to Landing Point Repeat for each area you want to have a separate arrival point. Note that this will prevent people from teleporting anywhere in your region. They will be limited to the landing points you have set. Another way to accomplish the same thing is to install a local teleport system. Several are available on the Marketplace that allow multiple destinations, selectable with a menu.

I don't see anything in the VESID criteria that says your disability benefits would stop if you had a billing method on file with LL. But I am not a caseworker, a New York resident, or a lawyer, so who knows? If you have a credit card or a debit card, you can use it to purchase $L from one of the authorized $L resllers. Find a list of them here: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Linden_Lab_Official:Linden_Dollar_%28L$%29_Authorized_Reseller_Program

It means the region you are trying to log into is offline. This is a Tuesday, and LL is doing their usual server updates on the main server channel. Regions will go off line for a few minutes while they are updated.

Rolig is right. If you use the Screaming Bee "Morphbox Pro" software separately, you avoid paying the voice morph subscription fee to LL, and you can create your own custom settings. But you should be aware that using any voice morphing software will not give you an instant and believable voice. They are good at creating "fantasy" voices like a giant, an elf, or a robot, but not so good at changing female to male voices or male to female. The ear can usually detect that a voice morpher is in use. Try the free version of Morphbox first, and see if it will do what you are looking for. Get a friend to help you, or record your voice and play it back. Your own ear can't tell, while you are speaking. Plus, there is a strange phenomenon. You speak, and a fraction of a second later, you hear your voice. You listen to that, and you lose track of what you are saying and trail off into gibberish or silence.
