Ok, I used to play Second Life.. a lot.. then one day it suddenly says, The application has failed to start because OPENGL32.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem. Alright, i've reinstalled second life over 20 times, and i can't find this file anyway. anyone know what to do?

Try re-installing your video drivers.

Pinto,
OPENGL32.dll is a system DLL for the graphics API that we use. It should live in the WINDOWS\SYSTEM32 directory, and is part of the standard Windows installation.
There's some possibility that a poorly written application/driver uninstall inadvertently removed this file - have you done any driver upgrades or changes recently? Also, it could be possible that some sort of hard drive problem, system crash, or possibly a virus deleted this file.
In any case, it may be possible that using one of the standard Windows "repair installation" utilities (I forget how you do it exactly) may be able to restore the DLL for you.
- Doug
