I just had to swap out my hard drive and now when I installed SL I just get black screens. There are different shades of black, but I can't read a thing. What might I have done wrong?!

Do you have exactly the same programmes (QuickTime, .NET Framework, Graphic Drivers etc etc) on the new HD?

Listened to too much Rolling Stones and smoked too much weed?

Honestly, I don't have a real answer. That has happened to me before with a mismatched opengl driver, but I wouldn't think that's the problem you are having.

I have the identical set up as I had before. I was thinking it might be a SL issue, but it seems people are in SL now, and I can't get there. I am beginning to get the shakes from withdraw!

If you are using XP, install .NET Framework version 2, if Vista version 3 or 3.5. The default version 1.1 is shipped with XP.

.NET Framework is the runtime environment that supports OpenGL platforms such as SL.
