Also, some of the private run help places or some private places offer you to join their group and set your homespot there. Calm, mostly griefer free because the managers there care.

It could be a sign of overheating, cleaning all the cooling ribs and openings that the air can flow freely. This is often an issue I see "inworld". I don't know if there is a temperature monitor that could show you the temperature of the CPU and GPU. That would be helpfull to see, if that is realy the reason. If you want to do it on your own, you would need to get some air in a can and with that you can usually blow the dust out your PC/Laptop, but you might need to block the fans for that

Any kind of avatar that is smaller than the smallest possible standart avatar is "crushed" somehow by bending the shape (you can see that if you take of the provided alpha), It can help, if you try to remove the shape first and then wear the other shape, but that works not allways, If you stuck in the crushed shape after the change, simply relog.

IF you want to become the only owner, sell it to you. If you want to transfer to another group, set it to sell to yourself, remove the contribution from the old group, you will get a warning because there is not enough land for a short time, you can ignore it. Then contribute the land to the new group and then buy it for the new group (via About Land window), make sure to wear the new group. Oh and a group that holds land, will not be deleted! Only one member is needed to keep it that way. Take a look here: http://community.secondlife.com/t5/English-Knowledge-Base/Group-owned-land/ta-p/700079

There is for example at the sim "Aspen" a club you can go, also The Vortex, StartDream Beach Club. You can also try the search and use "youthspot". Many other clubs or places in general allow any kind of avatars without mention them. Look in other kids profiles their picks too. Many of those clubs also have LM giver to other clubs, so it should be possible to find a club that suits you. Keep in mind, that all kind of avatars are allowed on any places, no matter of the rating, but for kid avies stay away from sex stuff. If an owner asks you to leave, just leave. It's their decision. http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Linden_Lab_Official:Clarification_of_policy_disallowing_ageplay If just someone else bothers you that they will call the police, block them

If you use the version 3.7.3 (287491), then try to use the hotfix version Second Life Hotfix Viewer version 3.7.4.288138 here: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Linden_Lab_Official:Alternate_Viewers or the former version here: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Release_Notes/Second_Life_Release/3.7.2.286707

Sometimes it helps to try following. Start the viewer, open the preferences, tab general and there tick "Show on login" near "Start Location". Restart the viewer, at the login screen you have now one more option, click into the blank line and enter some other region name, like Gurshi and try to login. If you had sucess, TP to the sim where you were before and that will help to update your online data usually(If you can TP close to a neighbourhood sim you will maybe see green dot of yours in that region). If the issue persists or fails at all, only way as Lindel told.

What I can think about: There is an issue with a firewall or a virusscanner maybe. End all things that access the internet (like skype etc pp) and then turn one off and see if it is any better and then the next (step by step to find out what could be the reason). Sometimes a restart of the modem and router, just unplug the powerline for some minutes for that, can help too.

If you are the landowner or it is group owned owned land and you have the power, yes. Just open "About Land" tab "Object" "Owned by parcel owner" if you are the Landowner. Or, if group land, same tab, look down at "Object Owners", hit the refresh button, hightlight your objects and hit Return Objects. To see the landowner, you need to look at teh first tab "General".

If you are 16 or 17 years of age, you simply can't access Adult rated places (also moderate places). If you 18 and older you might need to switch your settings at Preferences, tab General. Pretty much at the top: "I want to access content rated" the drop down menu.

Did you switch the maturity access in the preferences already? Preferences (ctrl + p) tab General, pretty much at the top: "I wish to access contend reated" the drop down menu below that. Then you will be able to switch M(oderate) and A(dult) in search. And for Marketplace.

Try once a full change of your avatar, inclduing Skin&Shape, The simplest way to do it is to use one of the starter avatars. How to do it depends on the viewer you are using. Viewers that use "Me" on the topbar you can simply click that and then click "choose avatar". On FS you need to look for Avatar and then Avatar health, or just drag an avatar from the library- clothes- initial outfits to your avatar. Wait, till you are fully loaded. If that happens quite often, you need to look into that. Usualy thats a sign that your internetconnection is not stable enough for SL.

Take a look here, that should help: http://community.secondlife.com/t5/English-Knowledge-Base/Search-FAQ/ta-p/846121 http://community.secondlife.com/t5/English-Knowledge-Base/Guidelines-for-creating-search-listings/ta-p/803947 http://community.secondlife.com/t5/English-Knowledge-Base/Classified-advertisements/ta-p/700049

Another good place to learn buidling are in SL: The Ivory Tower Library of Prim, http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Natoma/208/171/26 Some groups/places also offer building classes.

Did you try to make another password allready? If not, I would suggest you change your passwort first and wait up to 48 h. The passwort change will force an update of the Aditi database. You need to use the same username and passwort then. If that doesn't help, you might need to contact the support. Sometimes it helps to give the starting region too, try Ahern for example. Also the Aditit grid has some downtime too, maybe you had that issue.

Do you mean your RL age? That is not possible to change. They use the date given as you joined. If you mean to play another age, you would need to get an avatar that looks like the age you want to play.

There is a hotfix for that viewer. You can get that if you click "Second Life Beta Viewers Page" on the Download link. Just try and download the Second Life Hotfix Viewer version 3.7.4.288138 http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Linden_Lab_Official:Alternate_Viewers )

And where you can change the UUID you can find here: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Debug_settings and search for "friend" in the list:)

There are many doorscripts out, some with access lists, some without. Some are made for RP and will fall apart if you "hit" them etc. pp. So it's not easy to answer that without more background infos. I can only give some hints. The doorscript has to be in the door, not in the rootprim in most cases. The door can be only one prim then and you need to make a pathcut to make it work. But there are also doorscripts, that need also a linkset to work correctly and some scripts rotate also non pathcutted prims. You also might have issues if there is no conservation from the human readable "Euler" format, that has the 3 axis' (x,y,z) to the "Quaternation" format, that has 4 numbers. And then there are scripts that also move linksets in a linked object, many vehicles use that method. All the more complicated scripts have usualy some text above to explain how to use them or a notecard came with them. I dropped you a doorscript which some lines about. Feel free to ask, if you need help:)

Another important thing: Keep your laptop (as any PC) clean! The air must be able to flow freely through the cooling ribs and cleaning it on a regular base is the best to prevent dying!

Sadly you usualy can't replace any hardware on a laptop (besides the memory and some other parts, that don't affect graphics). The graphics depends mostly on your GPU and CPU. The only way to change that is to get a new laptop with better hardware. Dedicated graphics with at least 2GB of ram is a must!
