    Isn't this a copyright or intellectual property issue? Do I have any recourse to correct this in SL? Other people maybe involved as well. I also see I have some photos showing up in search online in the SL Answers achieve files. Can I remove these? It says they are read only.

     

    It appears the website in not coping my AV image but linking to it instead which is technically I believe, OK.. The problem can be correct by changing "My settings" to disable the searching of my content here on SL. Where is that box in "my settings"? I looked for it thoroughly but it appears to be missing in the updated, revised "my settings"!? It was there at one time as I recall.

  2. If your on a Windows OS, open "task manager" and see what's running during logon. Close down any programs you can that are running when you logon. When you logon a lot of things happen; the SIM rezzes and some inventory is updated, your account balance (L$s) is updated, etc... Logon is when the system is in most heavy usage and this is normal. Also if your graphic settings are set high this will compound the problem. Shutting down some of the features in preference might help as well, like voice, automatic media play that sort of thing that you may not need running all the time. All in all, the CPU operating percentage should drop after a few minutes (maybe 10 or so.).

    You did not say which CPU you have, by the way.

    Good luck! :)

  3. Open "task manger" and see if you have programs running in the background. Something maybe trying to update and gobbling up your bandwidth as it does. Have you run windows connection troubleshooter, reset your modem or system clock lately? If you leave your PC on to long the address in your modem will not refresh properly; resetting the system clock will correct this problem. The system clock can create enumerable problems for a PC, including updates. See Windows "help and support" about these if you have questions on how they are done.

    Good luck. :)

  4. I'd suggest these but you need the advanced and develop tab features to do them.

    First rebake your AV. Advanced>rebake textures

    The next two depend on how much time you have in your AV's appearance and how organized you are.

    If you have loads of time in your AV's appearance and are "not" well organized with your inventory clear the cashe. This is found in the advances tab in preferences. You will reloading all your textures (and you may have a lot of them) with this option and may experience slow rezzing for awhile till they are restored.

    If you "are" organized and you can quickly and easily find your present outfit, shape, skin, eye, etc., then develop> Avatar>character test>choose male or female. The will revert your AV to it's original Ruth shape and dress. Ruth is the AV you had when you started SL. You will need to totally redo your AV using this option.

    I would suggest you avoid freebie clothing items which may contain corrupted texture files when possible. Hey I like freebies too. :)

    Good luck!

  5. I had the same problem while on SL yesterday  while using the SL viewer. Was offline for well over an hour. Reset the modem. Did the MS connection trouble shooter, reset the system clock, the works, even reloaded my Ethernet driver then switched ethernet adapters (I have 2) nothing worked ......... In time it just started working again. Not good! This looks like a denial of service problem associated with SL.

  6. I would suggest you have one of three problems.

     

    The easiest first. Clear your cache in preferences. This will require that textures be reloaded and rezzing will be slow at first till you refill the cache file.

    The not so easy approach, Something you are wearing is corrupted and keeping you from rezzing normally. So change your cloths and shape, hair, etc till you find out what is the problem. When you find it throw it away. If it is valuable contact the creator of the item for a possible replacement. I did say "possible" replacement.

    Lastly your connection has some problems. This might require some special knowledge to fix. Ask a knowledgeable friend for assistance in real life to trouble shot your connection for you if need be.

    Here's what you need to do for your connection...........

    Run Windows connection trouble shooter ot the Linux equivalent

    Reset your modem (skip this step if you have a router, especially one with a firewall in it.)

    Reset the computers clock (Do not leave your computer on all the time. The address in modems must be refreshed from time to time to work correctly. If you must leave it on continually restart your computer occasionally.)

    (typo edit)

     

  7. Download. SL runs at around 45 frames per second (with rare spikes over 50 fps) so much over that is not necessary. What speed does the fps say when your using the statistics bar? (Check several Sims then average the rate.) Advanced>performance tools> statistics bar>FPS, the top one. It may record more but you can't use it because the transmission rate from SL is around 50 fps tops with an average or 45 fps.

    The 9500 evga cards are aging you might consider upgrading there before up grading to a faster connection.

     

    EVGA 02G-P3-1559-KR GeForce GTX 550 Ti (Fermi) 2GB 192-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card

     

    Good luck.

     

     

  8. Is it going black or going to the desktop? If black, see if your graphics driver is up to date.

    If the desk top, then run the connection trouble shooter and reset your system clock (see Windows "help and support" for instructions and the how-tos for these.). If you have a modem unplug all wires from it wait 30 seconds then plug them back in again. Leaving your PC on all the time will not allow the address in your modem to up date turn your PC off occasionally or restart the system from time to time.

  9. That's because you are not allowed to edit other peoples objects. There is an exception, there is an option to allow other to edit your objects in your profile, under permissions but allowing others to modify you objects should be consider seriously before enabling this feature.

     

    Edit: typos

  10. You could use a particle but you could also just attached some long thin objects to your hands and Maybe do it much easier. Objects have texture, light, glow and transparency features. Having those particles align with the hand control piece will be a "real" problem.

  11. I'm showing more then one SL plugin in Windows Task Manager running at once. How many should there be? If this is an error it's wasting my PC hardware resources and I'd like to get the extras removed. How can this be fixed, if it can?

    (edit) The particulars: Windows 7 Home Premium, AT&T/McAfee Home Security Suite (that asks about the plugin often.), Compaq CQ5210Y, SL Viewer 3
