Just letting you know I've posted this on the other forum, and I did a search on these forums too but was unable to find a solution that worked.
For some reason when I tried to log into SL the other day I got a message about mangled data and bad upstream connection. So I followed it's instructions and uninstalled and reinstalled about 3 times altogether. I also did a defrag. Next time I tried to log in it crashed halfway through loading, just quit the programme. o_o
I updated my graphics driver and so on, under instruction from the FAQ, but it still crashes. AGH. I thought it might be the uni too, since there's a lot of people on it, obviously, but I've been on SL here before without trouble. It started after I downloaded the update, maybe it's something in that that has pushed ot past the uni network connection speed boundaries?
I did the bandwith test, though I dont know who our provider is, it could be resnet.
1186.7 Kbps - You 1186.7 kbps is what it said. ^^
My PC itself is fine and dandy and has run SL fine for a long time. It could be the uni connection has had a tantrum or something, I don't know.
So, to summarise, here's what I've tried so far:
-Un/reinstalling (Many times, using Add/Remove programmes)
-Downloading/Reinstalling without a firewall
-Changing my login preferences to 'My Home' rather than 'Last Location'
-Logging in from different locations
-Deleting my cache files (Application data>SL etc.)
-Defragging the computer (Many times)
-Running virus/spam checks
And of course the speed I got from that link is posted above. ^^
I'm unable to either stay in SL long enough to to any tests, or I crash halfway through loading.
Can someone help, please? It's been aaages XD
Thank you!
