Just a remark, if you want to use voice (you can safely ignore it) then you need to add the following files from an official 1.22 viewer:

SLVoice.exe
alut.dll
vivoxsdk.dll
ortp.dll

That is all of them, if you forget a dll it will slow down your viewer to 1...2 FPS and you don't want that :).

Don't ignore the llkdu.dll tho, that is a graphics library that speeds up rendering. Copy it into C:\Program Files\ShadowViewer and it will be automatically detected at the next start.

Could it be that a firewall needs to be set to allow this viewer to connect?

Last guesses...do you have any tuned optimized whatsoever settings in your windows? graphics control panel. Also as you mentioned Vista, if you run Aero, disable this.

DirectX doesn't mean much for SL. It's used for some detection stuff but graphics rendering is handled by OpenGL, not DirectX.

Please try the new Nvidia driver. Uninstall the existing driver first, reboot, then use Driver Sweeper 2 (http://downloads.guru3d.com/Driver-Sweeper-beta-2.0.0-download-2186.html) to completely clean remains and reinstall the new downloaded driver. After reboot check in the Nvidia control panel under 3D settings / Adjust image settings with preview that there is a rotating Nvidia logo. Don't change any of the default settings.

You may also want to try an OpenGL test like GLview (http://www.realtech-vr.com/glview/download.html).

Next make sure you can run a default SecondLife client. Then get the latest ShadowViewer installer from my blog and install it. It goes into new independent directories and doesn't overlap with SL folders which may have been an issue before. Try if that works.

If it still fails, please send me your log files after the crash (boy.lane at yahoo.com).
That is:
C:\Users\<you>\Appdata\roaming\secondlife\logs\Secondlife.log and
C:\Users\<you>\Appdata\roaming\shadowviewer\logs\ShadowViewer.log

Perhaps I see something in there, but I can't promise :)
