I have a Mac 10.6.2, 2.16GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 2.5GB 667MHz DDR2 SDRAM. The graphics card is NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT.
I am by no means a computer expert but I love SL and I love my iMac. I have major probs in SL in that strange graphic shapes appear and eventually the colored carousel appears and continually keeps turning until I am informed that the program/SL is not responding.
I then force quite and try to start again by reloading.
Now it has become so bad that upon logging in the colored carousel immediately starts and I cannot even begin on SL!!!

I am a simple girl who just wants to get on SL with my friends.

Please - can anybody help me?

Some people suggest disabling VBO which is found in Edit > Preferences > Graphics > Hardware Options.

This worked for me, using the Emerald viewer.
