I'm hoping someone has already solved this problem. Yesterday I upgraded from Windows Vista to 7. Now, although everything else is working fine, SL won't log in. It's telling me my video card drivers did not install properly, are out of date, or are for unsupported hardware. It's an Nvidia GeForce 7600 GS and the drivers from the Nvidia site won't download - it's telling me they are corrupted. Anyone? Please help!

You need to put a ? in the URL for the IMG trick to work. I used s #? so that the ? would be seen as an in-page anchor and not sent to the website (sometimes that causes problems). _____________________

I knew there was a "?" involved somwheres but it allows me to click on it and takes me to the site without the "?".  now that I think about it, I have that Linkification addon for Firefox.. my bad! |

Nvidia offers native Windows7 drivers on the main site now. The default Windows drivers will not work with SL. (^_^)

I get the same error message with Vista Ultimate 64, using a GeForce GTX275.
All the Linden Help did was send me to the JIRA with others having the same issue. Needless to say, nothing was resolved. _____________________
