I am trying to join Second Life for the first time. I have been trying to log in all day. The application allows me to log in with name and password. I even get in for about 5 seconds and the system crashes. I am on Windows XP with SP2. 1.6 gig processor, 1 gig memory, Radeon 9000 graphics adapter. I configured my firewall to include access to SL and the ports. I changed my preferences to the lowest settings. Still no luck. I am very disappointed because I paid for membership and have not been able to use it yet. I almost want to call my credit card company and revoke the payment. Any help would be greatly appreciated or I will be forced to cancel my subscription since I've exhausted my efforts.

Try switching your graphics drivers to te Omega drivers. For some reason the catylist drivers that Radeon provides just don't get along with SL.

You are so freakin' awesome. I installed the Omega driver and it works. Thank you so much.
