i can only imagine he's mumbled something about updating video drivers and it not working correctly.

my only other guess is the client either by his fault or another is not updating correctly. Maybe he downloads and doesn't install *shrugs*

Do you have a computer with an onboard video chip as well as an NVIDIA video card? If so, you may need to disable your onboard video in the computer BIOS.

Do you actually have a Nvidia video card? If not, you need to install the Radeon drivers.

You can only use the drivers that match your card. If you need to use nVidia drivers, you must have the corresponding nVidia card in your computer.

From your post, it looks like you have an ATI card, which are notorius for problems playing SL.

You may need to buy yourself a different video card in order to play SL, unfortunately

Hope this helps!
