Hello
I'm running an HP pavilion laptop
2 gigs ram
nvidia nforce motherboard
nvidia go 6150 integrated graphics
amd turion 64 dual core 1.93ghz cpu
From what I've read, this should work decently with second life
However, I'm getting roughly 2-5fps and a lot of mouse/keyboard lag while trying to get through the first tutorials. I've turned down the graphics settings but this doesn't help much.
I think the problem is that SL is running at my desktop resolution of 1440x900 (widescreen). SL's graphics preferences window wont allow me to change this. I'm not sure if this is a SL problem, a Vista problem or my GPU driver. I am running the newest driver available for HP.
Anyone have a similar problem and hopefully a solution ?

heh, would that be the HP9000? If so, i have that exact same system(hardware) with XP. It runs SL magnificently(even 2 clients simutaneously).
edit: mind you, i can change the rez, mine IS set at 800x600, this of course makes a big difference to my framerate compared to yours, but if you can't get to change it in vista then why keep it?

Yes Im running the 9000 series, the dv9418ca specifically. I wonder if there is some sort of hardware flaw. I'm also have video playback issues. When you go full screen the video gets very choppy, even just normal dvd's. My friend's laptop has the same system specs (also an hp 9000) and his runs things flawlessly in vista. I'd hate to have to call hp's support, or return the thing. Maybe I can bug microsoft fo some replacement Vista software that doesn't have all the HP crap built in. |

If you insist on keeping Vista, i'd suggest (if you havn't already) search "vista" on these forums for vista specific remedies (if any). I had the oprotunity to by a better model latop than i ended up buying, but i went with this cuz i'd heard there were significant problems running SL in Vista. Though i hear putting XP on a formerly Vista system is iffy at best. Any experianced switchers out there?
