same here... hopefully someone answers.

I have cleared the cache, uninstalled, have absolutely NO firewall running and reinstalled with no luck.

Surely, there must be other solutions.

I am having the same issue. Is it something that has to be updated or has this been fixed and it needs to be re-installed? help!

firewall/virusprog/ect prob blocked it when update changed .exe, checked that?

Remove the secondlife.exe from their safe list and let it detect it again and ask you to allow in/out going packets

Is there anything else you could offer as a possible solution? My firewall and antivirus are turned off completely and still no success

well that sounds as if there is no solution whatsoever and it appears this puts an end to my time and investment here.

The solution was found.. removing Linden Labs from my registry and then installing.

this one ?

My Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Linden Research, Inc

My Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Linden Research, Inc\Secondlife\(default) REZ_SZ C:\Program Files\SecondLife

Could be path that was wrong ,
another thing to keep in mind to check for then,
uninstall should have killed this off tho

meh i trust uninstall as much er... cant think of any, i never use uninstall -.o;
