There has got to be a way that i can fix the problem im having, I just need to find it. ok heres the deal......I started playing about 4 weeks ago now, and i have been able to actually play the game maybe 2 weeks if that, anyways..... I played the game for the first two weeks fine, no problems (other than some lag sometimes but thats normal) anyways.....all of a sudden one day im paying the game, my computer restarts, out of no where, just restarts and ever since that day i have nothing but problemstrying to play this game.I ended up doing a clean install cause everything i tried didnt work... oh and my computer started restarting even when i wasnt in the game, or even when i wasnt surfing the web. so i did the clean install...... got it back working again, i was able to play SL for about 2 days then it started happening again... restarting, same thing all over again, so i did another clean install, played for 2 days, started all over again, and thats where i am now. I really dont wanna do another clean install, but if thats the only thing that will work so i can play the game i will. I will do a clean install every 2 days if i have to, but i would think theres a better solution. I am running win xp pro. well heres my info. plz someone help me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

pc req : •Computer: 800MHZ or higher, 256MB RAM or more
Processor x86 Family 6 Model 8 Stepping 3 GenuineIntel ~601 Mhz - not enough

You should always double/tripple any minimum req as its only "loadable" not "playable".

I can so understand why you get lag in sL , youre running on bare minimum, latly SL been very crashy, laggy cause of last update they are working on it , your pc being stressed alot and something fails youll end up with a restart.

give it another week still, they are finding more bugs latly , that affected performance a bunch, another update is on its way to remidy that, SL has crashed for me to, so has anyone else ,but that only happend when there was something bugging my client.
