When you open a Note Card, it will start loading. It could be a connection issue not somthing major.

Go to diffrent sims, and check ctrl-shift-1 , simulator, pending download, if that is not 0 (ok 99,999% of time its 1 for some reason) youre still downloading stuff before it load your notecard.

Aha i know that one, i got my minimap like that a few times, its cause of xml messing up,you have to manually delete it after you uninstalled, or it will stay like a wierd box like that.

Uninstall

then manually go to

C:\Documents and Settings\*username*\Application Data\SecondLife

Delete that folder or find the xml files and delete them there,

Be sure you dont have any files remaining in

C:\Program Files\SecondLifeReleaseCandidate
[or wherever you had it installed]

reinstall again, this happen when xml mess up wish box size or something , only way i fixed mine was to set -settings file.xml <but they removed that command since the new change of xml (wich i truly hate them for -.-)

Uninstall wont help, it doesnt remove the settings file wich is stored in a diffrent folder and is usually hidden by default.

tools, folder options, view , show hidden files or folders

only then you can see the path you need;
C:\Documents and Settings\*username*\Application Data\SecondLife

Username is what you log in windows as, if you havnt set one its "Administrator"
