wtf? The game worked just fine before I rebooted. I removed a 2nd video card but nothing about my primary one changed. Why all of a sudden will the game not run? Even after a reinstall...

Rid, this is a problem that we occasionally see that we haven't been able to track down, as it appears to be an OS/driver problem, and doesn't seem to be specific to Second Life. Every so often, usually after a hardware/driver configuration change, Windows seems to decide that it's unable to create an OpenGL rendering context, which we need in order to do hardware-accelerated 3D. When this happened to us, we did some testing on other OpenGL apps (Counterstrike  ), and they failed to work either. We found that rebooting your system will solve the problem. If it continues to fail, send me a private message and I'll try and see if there's more debugging that I can do. - Doug
