Help! How do I revert to an earlier version?

I made the mistake of downloading SL version 1.19.1.4 on Friday and have had serious problems ever since. I was able to update my video card drivers, which helped my av look like a normal person, but now I am experiencing significant lag whenever I log on (client lag, frozen and jerky movements, not network or server related).

Also, for some reason I don't have an advanced graphics tab available on my preferences, so am limited in what I can do to change my graphics parameters.

I have downloaded the OnRez version, but am experiencing the same problems with it. I have tried to install earlier SL versions, but get the message that I must install 1.19.1.4 in order to log into SL. I have even tried to install the Nicholez version but can't get it to load properly.

Please, if anybody can help me I will be eternally grateful!

Thanks -

If you want older official releases, see http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Old_versions

I don't think you'll get anything older than 1.19.0.5 to run without fiddling, and more than a few versions back you will find they don't really work at all any more.

There are also the unofficial builds (Cool, Nicholaz, etc.) if you would like to try to get the newer features, with the problems affecting you possibly (or possibly not) fixed.

On the Graphics tab tick "custom" to get things to fiddle with.
