Hi Folks
Last week i got problems with my Nvidia 9600 GT, so decided to change it for Nvidia 9800 GT my friend has a same card and no problems with running SL

But here we are. SL crashes when i try to launch it.

I got an error message
"Second Life is unable to to run because your video card drivers did not install properly, are out of date or are for unsupported hardware"
and then nothing..

i've tried with different drivers 180.xx 175.xx and so on..

My last video card was nvidia 7600 and i didnt got any problems with SL.

So please could you help me.

make sure you uninstall ALL previous drivers and then install the new for the 9800; Driver cleaner works great to get all the left over bits out.

I think there are still some glitches in the latest but if it will run on the 175.1 (only XP I think) Vista needs the newer driver I think!
