Last night SL ran fine, but today I get:

"Second Life is unable to run because your video card drivers are out of date or unsupported. Please make sure you have the latest video card drivers installed.

If you continue to receive this message, contact customer support."

I've made no changes to my system since last night. Video card drivers are the latest available. Nvidea GeForce 7300GT.

I checked the blog and I don't see anything about this. Anyone else having this issue?

Well they made some changes yesterday. Do you have the latest video card drivers?

For what it's worth, I get the same error with Nicholaz.

Are you running Windows? If so, a System Restore sounds like the next step. Drivers can become corrupt.

Good luck :)

That worked, thanks so much Yrrek. Even uninstalling, redownloading, and reinstalling the drivers didn't fix it, but a restore did.

Great! :)

I may not necessarily have been the GPU driver but a system driver. Usually after I have a problem similar to that, when it used to work,
SYSTEM RESTORE first, only takes a couple of minutes.
