I installed SL but for some reason the rendering/textures arent showing at all.
I can't see the world at all =).

My graphics card isnt top of the bill but it can run WoW no problem so it should be able to run SL aswell i guess.

Card specs:
- ATI 9100 IGP
- 64 MB shard memory

Anyone any idea how to fix my problem ?

The Radeon IGP chips (integrated graphics processor; in other words, graphics built into the motherboard chip set) aren't officially supported by Second Life. I have heard from others that the Radeon 320 IGP does NOT work; it looks like your 9100 IGP may be another adapter that does not; sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

Newer ATI integrated graphics (Radeon X200 and X1100) DO seem to work with Second Life somewhat, but the frame rate is poor and gets rapidly worse if you turn on features like local lighting or bumpmapped/shiny. They may also stop working in future releases.

wow > d3d
secondlife > openGL

onboard can do some d3d , when it comes to openGL they usually crap out, you could try omegadrivers tho, that seems to help most Ati users.
