I've just signed-up for SL and, at first, I managed to log-in successfully but not without HUGE lags and frequent CRASHES. Now I can't get in at all - verifying protocol...

I've read and followed the advice about FIREWALL software and have even resorted to turning mine off all together but, sadly, to no avail.

Please help, I really want to get cracking in SL - what am I doing wrong?!

got any pc-spec's cause SL is one demanding software/rendering will chocke most pc's, and yeh its very slow compared to a fps, this will usually chug along at 10-12 fps

Intel® Celeron® D Processor 346 (3.06GHz, 533FSB, 256kB cache)
Windows® XP Home Edition
80GB Serial ATA Hard Drive (7200 RPM)
512MB memory

I don't know if this helps - I'm not really very clever with computers. I don't have much other stuff on my computer apart from Word documents so the memory should still be pretty big.

Thanks for caring!
