"Second life is unable to run because your video card drivers are out of date or unsupported.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."

so i did make sure. i downloaded the latests driver but still got the same error.
im with windows vista 32 bit.

Uninstall your current NVidia driver. Go to nvidia.com; download the current drivers for your card. (Don't go to XFX; they may not have the latest version.) Install; reboot as needed.

If that doesn't work, you might have to try a third-party driver removal program such as Driver Cleaner Professional.
