if you have no idea what im saying maybe this will help, this is what i e-mails to second life

I just now installed the game and when i tried to run it it
said:
Whelcome! You have sucessfully Installed Second Life.

Should performance errors or technical issues occur, Second
Life
can automayically send technical data about your computer
to Linden Lab to diognose and correct the problem.
this information is solely to address technical issues
and is kept strictly confidential.

You can change this setting under Prefrences / General

Automatically send data is problems occur?

[Yes] [No]

I tried both then another window comes up saying "Detecting
hardware"
then the crash logger comes up, does its thing then says
done, Then after that im back at my desktop, Nothing
happened

What do i do?

Please Respond, Locke Tomba

Im sorry your having problems. I dont know what to say to help you with your problem. The only thing that comes to mind, but I may be wrong, is that your system specs are not up to par for SL. The minimum specs are as follows...

PC Requirements:
• Graphics Card: Nvidia Geforce 2 (32MB RAM) or higher, or ATI Radeon 8500 (32MB RAM) or higher (laptop users: click here)
• Computer: 800MHZ or higher, 256MB RAM or more
• OS: Windows XP/2000
• Internet Connection: Broadband (DSL/Cable Modem/LAN)
• DirectX 8 or 9


If everything is good to go with your system, email [email]support@secondlife.com[/email] . Just explain this issue in the email. I hope you can get it worked out, good luck with getting online. If you get it worked out, please post and let us know what the problem was.

Ah, I reread that you have emailed for support, be patient, they will help you out as soon as they can.

Yes, it probably is your computer. I made a page to help you figure out what's wrong here.

The likely problem is that you're either running on old video/chipset drivers, or that you're trying to connect on dial-up. My money's on the drivers.
