  1. I just "upgraded" to Windows 10. On the whole I like it, HOWEVER... SL no longer runs. The only "viewer" I've been able to get to boot is METAbolt, a text-only viewer. Firestorm, SIngularity, and Catznip (the second and third of which I only installed to make sure it wasn't a Firestorm issue). I use Intel(R) Q35 Express Chipset Family (Microsoft Corporation - WDDM 1.0), which I understand is a very poor graphics chip (or name for a set of weak chips? I don't know I'm not tech savvy) and I've even seen a post on here saying SL won't run with it, HOWEVER, SL was running just fine for me yesterday at ultra-low graphics settings. Here is the message I get when I try to boot up firestrom: Firestorm is unable to run because your video card drivers did not install properly, are out of date, or are for unsupported hardware. Please make sure you have the latest video card drivers and even if you do have the latest, try reinstalling them. If you continue to receive this message, contact the Second Life Support Portal. I typed that up myself so there might be a typo in there, but I think you get the general idea. Why would it work yesterday but not today? When I tried running the "Intel Driver Update Utility" it said no drivers were found for my product, as well as searching for that product's drivers on the webpage says none are found... what do I do? EDIT: I understand buying a video card could very probably fix the problem. I'm not looking for that solution as even $40 is not going to appear in my budget in order to play a computer game. Here's the thing... SL, it worked YESTERDAY. It WORKED. I'm sure if I downgrade to windows seven it'll work again, I'm looking for a solution that doesn't require that.
  2. I have the same chip (Intel® Q35 Express Chipset Family (Microsoft Corporation - WDDM 1.0)) and YESTERDAY, SL ran fine on super-low graphics settings. It would crash sometimes, but ran otherwise. Now that I've upgraded to Windows 10 however, no graphical viewers run, I'm using a no longer updated text-only viewer.
