Within 1 minute of starting SL my computer locks up completely. Occasionally made it in game but HUGE issues .

have updated video and all drivers and tried the set affinity to use only 1 CPU core has not helped . turned off raid , didn't help . other than SL seems to run great .

OS - windows media center
450w power supply
CPU: (Sckt775)Intel(R) Pentium(R) D 945 Dual-Core CPU @ 3.4GHz 800FSB 2x2MB L2
Cache EM64T

MOTHERBOARD: ECS PA1 MVP(2.0) ATI RD400X CrossFire LGA775 1066FSB
DDR2/667 Dual PCIE SATA RAID w/GbLAN+10/100LAN,USB2.0,2xIEEE1394,&7.1Audio

NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT 512MB 16X PCI EXPRESS VIDEO CARD - using default settings

2GB (2x1024MB) PC5300 DDR2/667 Dual Channel Memory

any suggestions?

Well i fixed it - setting affinity etc didn't do squat . I scaled back from the geforce to a 256 meg Radeon X1300 XT video card and it works like a champ even without seting affinity to only use 1 core

make a new SL shortcuitm add this in Target :

-login SLfirstname SLlastname password

for me that would be
"C:\Program Files\SecondLife\SecondLife.exe" -login Thili Playfair password

and never look at that login screen again, do not use this shortcuit when theres a update it will just give you a error.

As its update day it will prob fail after awhile , to many trying and performance is always bad, wouldnt bother doing much till tomorrow really, rez dont work (avatar baked textures), friendship info dont work, and other things.
