New person-can't get in

I have an emachines T2200 and while I'm trying to log in to SL (after giving my name and password) I get a message that SL "appears to be frozen" or something like that. The crash logger comes on and then nothing.

I looked through the technical forum and saw something about "a log file (located in C:\Documents and Settings\<your user name>\Application Data\Second Life\Logs)

I see no such log file

Please help.

Thanks,

First thing that hit me when i looked this pc up

Shared Video Memory:8 MB uhu....

what vid card are you using on this pc?, cause you need least ati/nvidia 32 (har make that 64mb) vid card to start/enter SL

Also always a bad sign when they dont even list what the onboard vid card is.
