A friend of mine tried to install SL and it won't run at all. We're not sure what's wrong, because the computer seems to meet all requirements. When we run the SL program, it crashes before it even gets to the opening screen - we never get to the point of being able to sign on.

Here are the computer specs:

Dell Inspiron 531S
AMD Athlon 64 x2 Dual core 3800+
2.01GHz
2 Gig Ram
128 ATI Radeon X1300 (driver is up to date)

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Maja

Hi Maja,

There have been some suggestions regarding the Catalyst application control panel...

See here, down in "Technical Issues"
