Whenever I make my avatar move about the world, I crash to desktop nearly immediately. I've been plagued by this problem since I started my free trial.

Pentium 4 2 Gig.
512 DDR (I Think it's DDR) RAM
More then enough HD space.
ATI Radeon 8500
Cable Connection

P.S. Assuming this is a fixable problem, would it be possible to roll back my trial? I wasn't able to really give the game a fair try, but I would really like to.

[email]bloodeagle0388@aol.com[/email] if any Lindens need to reach me.

Oh yeah, and my Radeon has the Driver set I was instructed to install. Interestingly enough, however, I can do anything that dosen't involve moving, like customizing my Avatar and selecting an object.

I had similar problems in the beta test, I hoped this would have been fixed by now

Despite being instructed by the game to move up to Catalyst 3.6, try rolling your drivers back to Catalyst version 3.1. Any better?

Yep, doing a rollback to 3.1 should solve your problem. I had the same problem when I hacked the 3.6 drivers to work with my ATI Mobility (it had 3.1 previously). I moved and the game crashed, I did a rollback and the game worked normally again.

You, sir, need a diet.

Charile (and Logan), due to physics and your sizable belly, each step you took would crash the system as it tried to calculate footpounds per square meter.

I suggest puffed rice cakes and water.

No good. I'm currently running the 3.1 Saphire drivers, same problems. Help, I really want to try Second Life.
