game freezes at "connecting to region"

This has happened several times now today. I try to log in, and it loads up fine until it reaches the "connecting to region" part. then it completely freezes up and stops responding. I have tried reinstalling the game. I have tried using a program to free up memory. I have tried rebooting. Nothing works.

If it means anything, when I turned on the computer and clicked Second Life, it gave me the "you have successfully installed Second Life" message, when I hadn't just installed it. It has been on my computer for a long while.

Please HELP !

Did you uninstall SL completely before reinstalling it? If not, try that.

I was able to logon fine this morning. Had been in-world for a while and then I locked up. Restarted the game and now I'm freezing at connecting to region.

Having the same issue as Mocha. Is there something wrong this morning?

I crashed last night and ever since then I've been having the same problem. Getting quite frustrating!

im haveing the same issues in sage,and mesede,locks up,the says ive been logged out,then when i go to sign back on it says im unable to get back there,but whats wierd,is if i re-boot my pc,then sign on it works,and im back in buisness,thought maybe it was my connection or pc,but it was doing the same thing with my wifes pc..and the lag in those regions are becomming real bad too.i think its time for a good new update..its starting to be more freguent with the crashes now though..

Here's something that might work...

Go into your cache folder, (usually) located at:
C:\Documents and Settings\[USER NAME]\Application Data\SecondLife\cache
And delete all the files that are there. Then it might load correctly.
