Hello all..

I seem to have got a problem with the current version of SL (1.12.0(13))..

When i launch Secondlife, it just stands on detecting hardware for some time (longer than it did at previous versions), and then crash reporter pops up, due to SL crashing.. I don't even see the graphics window, at all..

Now, my experience tells me that it could have something to do with my graphics drivers. So i uninstalled them completed, made sure all driver files were wiped from the system, and reinstalled them.. No change, same happened..

I've sent, so far, 3 crash reports to Linden Labs, so that they have something to go from..

My computer has recently been reinstalled from complete format, has NOD32 virus with latest definition running, and is using windows firewall..

I've tried turning of the NOD32 virus killer, nothing happened.. Windows Firewall has been configured properly..

I'm not being any kind of router (only a transparent gateway, which is my modem), and nothing else..

Computer information:
OS: Windows XP Pro (5.1 Build 2600) SP2
Motherboard: Asus K8N-E Deluxe
Processor: AMD Athlon 64 3400+, MMX, 3DNow, 2.4Ghz
Ram: 1024MB.
DX Version: DirectX 9.0c (4.09.000.0904)

Graphic card: Nvidia Gefore 6800 GT (256 RAM) running at 1280x1024x32 (60hz).
Graphic card Driver: 6.14.0010.9131 (English) 01-06-2006 12:22:00

Sound card: SB Live Platinium
Sound card driver: 5.12.0001.3300 (english) 17-08-2001 22:19:26 (newest creative has)

My computer is using no special configuration on the graphics hardware, nor is none of my hardware OCed

Secondlife has worked perfectly before. It's just after 1.12 was release that it started crashing like this..

The 1.12 preview (the only that is there now. 1.12.0(13)) doesn't work either. Though when 1.11 was released, and there was still a 1.12 preview. I ran it to see the changes, and it worked perfectly before..

I'm atta loss really.. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the newest version of Quicktime also (Just in case some was screwed up)

Anyone has any ideas ?

Instead of editing my previous post. I elected to post the solution i've found to this new post instead..

I poked around a bit more, and remembered that i actually bought a skype usb handset, and wondered if that could be the problem..

I unplugged it, and what do ya know, SL started to work again..

Just to let you all know. The model and make of my USB skype phone is the following:

BlueTinum BT-SH1105
