Ok. I keep crashing and getting this message from Windows Vista igfx driver has quit responding,driver has sucessfully recovered. I have the intel 82945G vid card. I aint sure what the problem is if it is in Vista or the driver. It does not have an updated driver out yet that I have found. If anyone can assist me I would greatly appreciate it.
(Known issue with WoW as well so I have read)

Any Intel vid cards = Not supported by Secondlife.
Only Ati/Nvidia works.

I highly reccomend Nvidia over ATI for SL, especially in Vista.
Unfortunatly, because Intel graphics are not supported, your card may work, but there won't be any fixes for problems concerning it.
If you are capable of upgrading your computer (i.e. it's not a laptop), I would reccomend, at the barest minimum, a Geforce 6600 based card, but you should really start with a 7600 based card.
If you don't know if you can upgrade or not, we can probably help you with more information about your computer.

I can not upgrade due to the fact I just bought the computer....3 day ago and it will void the warranty....Which for a dumb girl like me is a bad idea  giggles. ty though I hope they get a new patch for this soon.  |

Guess ill be bringer of bad news, there wont ever be a patch for this, Intel vid cards are just plain bad and cannot do what SL need it to do.

Adding a new video card will void the warranty?  |
