I have this problem as it'll hang for a bit when preparing my inventory. Just be patient for a minute it'll go thru (hopefully)

problem logging in with 1.5

I had the same problem. The first login was OK. Then I tried to TP to an event. Not only did the TP fail, but when I tried again (as the 1.5 warning suggests), it hung up as though I had TPd into a nonexistent place--nothing visible but the horizon. When I tried to relog, I got about halfway through the loading process and it hung. Each time I've tried to relog, that's what happens now. Can't get in.

Awaiting a fix from the Lindens (1.5.1, anyone?)

Lee Linden posted a suggestion deep in another thread that worked for me, let me paste it here for you.

If you're having issues (particularly if you were in 1.5 earlier today), you might try this. It worked for some of our residents (and me as well):

1) Open c:\Documents and Settings\(yourusername)\Local Settings and delete the contents of your Temp folder.
2) Open c:\Documents and Settings\(yourusername)\Application Data\Second Life and delete the contents of the Cache folder.
3) Uninstall Second Life using the Add/Remove Programs tool in your Windows Control Panel. Uninstall any 1.5 Preview as well.
4) Visit http://secondlife.com/download and download and install the latest release.

Hope this helps!

That's where I am right now as well. I tried the advice in this thread ( that came from Lee Linden ) and I'm still stuck on the " connecting to region " part of logon. Have been here for about 20 min or so.

Ugh.
