Just wondering if anyone can help.As in earlier posts i'm getting this error message.

Second life is unable to run because your video card drivers did not install properly, are out of date or are for unsupported hardware. please make sure you have the latest video card drivers.

As far has i'm aware i have downloaded the latest drivers.The machine in question is a Dell.The chipset is a Intel US15W and the graphics card is a Intel GMA500.Any help will be appreciated.

Oh wow Sophie. I think SL will not run on an INTEL onboard video chip set. Or if it does, the experience will be one that may not be tolerable for actually interacting with the SL environment.

Does your Dell have a PCI-e slot for a traditional ATI/Nvidia type graphic card?

Where?

It might be useful to be able to see the earlier posts. There are only two posts showing for Sophie Oskar, from what I see, both of them in this thread.
