I'm having all kinds of trouble getting SL to start up. It's taking an insane amount of time, repeatedly giving me the "Not responding" text in the title bar. Clicking the app on the taskbar doesn't bring it to the front, either.
It's been a few weeks since I fired this up. Last time, it worked fine. I've since switched graphics cards from an ATI to an nVidia. Both are hefty 1gig GPU's, real beasts that run all my games (FSX, CoX, Crysis) without an issue.
It's worth noting that it's using 100% of both cores of my 3.0 GHZ processor. That's just not right.
At one point I made it to the "loading regions" part of the process, but it wouldn't go further. The CMD window kept giving me bad packet errors.
Furthermore, a lot of the SecondLife web pages are very slow to respond.
Any tips out there?

SL is working normally for me so far as I can tell.
What are your system specs?
What video driver?
What version of SL?
Are you running anything else?
What kind of internet service? Wired or wireless network?
Do you ever turn off your modem and router?

I just reinstalled it and tried again. So it's the latest version of SL. It was painfully slow, but finally gave me an error message saying "Unable to connect to Second Life." and advised me to check the status of SL.
System specs:
Windows Vista SP1 32-bit AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 3.0 GHz CPU 4.0 GB RAM nVidia nForce 730a motherboard nVidia GeForce 9800 GT (PCI-E, 1024 MB) nVidia GeForce 6200 (PCI, 256 MB)
Running on a wired, cable connection.
Modem and router stay up most of the time, although I did reset the router earlier today, just to change up the wireless encryption for a new device.
Drivers are all up to date.
The only other programs I'm running are some low profile background programs that I had running last time SL worked.

"Up to date" is not a version.

You could try setting your ports as described at https://support.secondlife.com/ics/support/default.asp?deptID=4417&task=knowledge&questionID=4355 . By the way, some parts of the SL website are going very very slow for me at the moment.

I'll have to try the port forwarding, sure. Got a URL, or should I google it?

Seems as if the port forwarding did the trick.
