Hi there
just installed SL like one hour ago "do you want to start second life?" öhm... yes
so it started. first on a smaller window. clicked the right arrow on the "tips"dialog and it freezed. ok after 20 seconds i see the reason: the game window now fills the whole screen (no fullscreen. still seeing titlebar). ok now clicking the next right arrow to get thru the "tips". freezes again... after a minute Ive got a bluescreen. no big deal. laptop restarts. already seeing the background of the windows loginscreen but not the dialog itself, there comes a blackscreen that shows like 4 lines of text and laptop instantly restarts
it just keeps restarting and I dont know what to do
specs: 2.2ghz dual core, 2gb ram, 7600 nvidia gforce go
anyone can explain this behavior? or tell me how I can start my laptop to windows again...?
Thanks to anyone helping me
Kind Regars, Tony

Are you getting Windows to even start to launch? Or does your computer restart before you see anything related to Windows flash on your screen? Also can you tell what that four lines of text said?
The process varies a little from computer to computer but try starting your Windows in safe mode. Usually repeatedly pressing the F1 key during the boot process before Windows launches will get to the boot mode.....use your arrow keys to highlight "Start Windows in Safe Mode" and hit enter. If that works for you try restoring your Windows to some other restore point........like maybe earlier today if it's before you installed SL or maybe yesterday.
Also, try turning the computer completely off and leaving it off for 5 or 10 minutes and see if it "fixes" itself.
