Hi guys (and girls)
I am totally new to second life and I installed it on my new laptop 15,4
screen (Asus Z53S) dual core T7700, 2GB memory, graffic card Nvidia G Force
8600M GS Vista Home OS, but I don't manage to stay operational (?) more than
a few seconds. I have cabble connection (usually 13500 kps download and 480
upload rate).
What happens is when I start the game I manage to move (walk7fly) for a few
seconds and I imediatly loose all control over my avatar (keeps
walking/flying etc). Is there some adjustment I can do to my settings to be
abble to play (I am truly amazed with it)?
Best thanks for your suggestions.

No idea, you have a high end gaming notebook there, no reason it shouldn't work. If Second Life is crashing or messing up it's probably the program that's the problem.

Check with Linden Labs, see if there's any known problems with Second Life similar to what you're experiencing.

In the meantime I'd go to http://www.nvidia.com and download the latest drivers for your video card and ASUS.com to find audio and chipset drivers for your system.

If all your drivers are up to date then I suggest....

....well, not playing Second Life. It's a really stupid game, and I don't care how much you try to sugar coat it, that whole "game" if you can call it that is just one failed experiment after another.

Watch out for the Yiffers.

thanks

Dude, Second Life is a game, a really bad game, it's not a life, it's
just a game you can make weird stuff in and animate it. I'm more
interested in SL from a programmer pov, but as a game, almost all of the
people who say they play just creep me out like nobodys business.

I'm glad artists are into it, but it seems to be mostly performance
stuff, and when it seems like the only "art" you ever see coming out of
SL are Unicorn Babies,
(http://www.secondlifeherald.com/slh/...oon-delig.html -
NSFW!) I think it's safe to say there's not much good art coming out of
SL.

....and what the hell is wrong with Mine Sweeper? Dude, them is fightin'
words.

Keep your Second Life out of my life. I know you're entitled to your
opinion, and I RESPECT your opinion, but yes, I've tried SL, it's weird,
and that's my opinion.
