I have Vista and the Nvidia geforce 6150 graphics card that supports openGL. I updated all Nvidia drivers from the website today. I can get online on SL but only have life for 5 minutes then I crash. It happens every time and I'm not sure what to do.
Anyone know what I can do to be able to use SL without this crashing issue?

integrated graphics?

6150's are on the board integrated graphics I think. If so, it is probably sharing system memory. if you don't have lots to share, that can become a problem.

Possibly not entirely helpful, but I upgraded this weekend to a new PC with Vista, and have the Nvidia Geforce 7600GT (256mb) card now - SL works beautifully.

From: Bella Heart yeah i have integrated graphics. is there a way to not share memory? No, and unfortunately VISTA+SL=CHANCE. If it works, GREAT! If not, so sorry as it's not supported by Linden Lab yet. Your chances of having it work with an onboard video anything greatly go down with Vista in almost any "gaming" situation. |

From: Bella Heart yeah i have integrated graphics. is there a way to not share memory? If the computer has a PCI Express slot, you can add a dedicated video card, which will have its own memory. The Nvidia 6150 chipset was never meant to run something as graphic intensive as SL. If you are on a limited budget, I'd suggest at least a Nvidia GeForce 7600GT card like Broccoli's. If all of what I said is greek to you, I'd suggest enlisting the help of the nearest available Geek before laying out any cash.
