I have:

WIN XP HOME
1700 AMD XP+
512 pc2100
Geoforce2 mx
SB Augigy
DSL

I was running DirectX 8.1
And some older Detonators.

SL was running perfect (for beta).

So i decided to be cool and update to Directx9 and new detonators.

So I have the the newest directx and newest detonators.

Now SL says:

Your ivdeo card appears to be a GDI generic which second life does not support.

Gives me an option to continue.

When I continue.

The game crashes with an error:

You do not appear to have the requirements to run Second life.

You need a video card that supports OpenGL multi-texturing.

Then It exits.

I can no longer even load the first screen where you log in.

I have run DXdiag eveything is ok.
Device Manager shows the proper card listed and driver.



Before I go back reverting does anyone have any suggestions???
