Hi .. I have a new laptop that now cannot run the latest SL versions for more than a few mins at a time, but I was able to run the older viewers on my previous laptop without a problem at all. This was pre-windlight ...

Both laptops have Intel graphics.

I am looking for a solution to this or how I can find an old version that will run.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

This somewhat old thread explains about how the installation files are stored on LL's storage site.

thanks ... I tried the Nicholaz viewer and it looked like it was going to work, but then it would log me on ok .. but hang or just not show anything.

It worked fine a few times, then just the hanging ... weird.

Any ideas? Thanks.

To help people generate possible useful ideas, you could try posting some more information about your system.

Perhaps you didn't turn enough Windlight effects off.

Well .. I have pretty much given up. I'm sure the issue is the Intel graphics and the lack of support. Thanks.

Have you tried updating your drivers from the Intel site?
