Hello, I'm not sure if this is the right section to post this but it seems the most fitting. Basically I can't startup SL, I have tried two versions, the latest version (1.21.6.99587) and a version that has been sitting on my computer for a while now (1.19.1.4). My computer specs are just above the minimum requirements; OS: Windows XP Processor: 1.3GHZ AMD Athlon. Graphics: Nvidia GeForce 6200. Memory: 2GB What happens is that when I try to start it up it just says SL has crashed and asks if I want to send an error report, this happens with both versions I tried, also when I tried the latest version it somehow messed up stuff in Firefox, my bookmarks were gone and it reset my home page but I just did a system restore to fix that but now I don't want to use the latest version to install SL again because it messes up Firefox. I've been signed up to SL for a while now but never actually gone on it so I'm basically a newbie to it but it would help if it would work.  Please help!

I've just updated the drivers for my graphics card, I installed SL version 1.19.1.4 and it still won't work but this time I am getting a different error message, it says;
Second Life is unable to run because your video card drivers are out of date or unsupported. Please make sure you have the latest video card drivers installed.

The last couple of driver releases for nVidia cards seem to have issues with some system configurations and SL. Try using either the 175.16 or 175.19 versions listed on this page: http://www.nvidia.com/Download/Find.aspx?lang=en-us |

Anyone recall hearing any reports of a Second Life installation deleting Firefox bookmarks and resetting the Firefox home page?
