As the title suggests everytime I go to use SecondLife I can carry on as usual but then it crashes :-( Duration varies but the outcome is all the same. If anyone else may of encountered this problem what was your fix...Please dont tell me I have to give up SL. Help appreciated.

*I have recently upgraded my graphics card to an ATI Radeon X1650 Pro 512MB would this maybe have something to do with the problems I have come across*

I have had this problem for several months.. cant remember now which upgrade it was, because i thought it was my pc at the time.

I have come to the conclusion it is my graphics card (ati Radeon 9550) as the error message in the events logger always says ati2mtag caused the error. Having searched for this it is supposedly a problem with the drivers. I have the latest drivers for my card, but these are not necessarily the ones that would stop the problem.. I have *just* been given a link to a site

http://ati.amd.com/support/drivers/xp/radeonx-xp.html

which i have yet to check out

I am now running the Nicholaz viewer for version 1.18.6 (pre voice) and that is more stable.. i can stay in for longer if i don't run anything else and keep my preferences set to the lowest of the low.

Good luck
