I return again...unsuccesful. Since 5pm on 7.27.11 SL began showing a crash message whenever I try to play. i DID follow insructions and advice I was given before, and it worked--until I evuly shut off SL, got up from my seat, and went to the bathroom. IT. WON'T. WORK. AGAIN. D: Also when it did-breifly-work, My inventory, appearence, me tab, and all the like were M.I.A. gah. Shoot me now. Thanks patch 2..8.

OK, it really does sound as if there is a problem with LL's V2.8 -- at least a problem for your computer. If you completely uninstalled it and reinstalled and it's still not working, I think it's time to give up on it for now. Completely uninstall it again, but this time download a completely different viewer. (I know, it's a pain, but if it works it will beat staying frustrated with this one.) I am quite impressed by Firestorm, which is still in beta but is already the third most popular viewer in SL (after Phoenix and LL's V2, in that order). You will find that is looks a lot like V2 and even in beta has most of V2's features, plus several that V2 does not have. I'm not selling, just saying that I like it. And if you don't like it, wait till LL gets the bugs out of their viewer and try switching back, or try a different one yet..

Firestorm is at http://www.phoenixviewer.com/ .

Previous versions of LL's V2 are at http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Category:Release_Notes
