Am I just stupid or is there no documentation on how to run the game fullscreen? When I run the game it pops up and says:
Second Life requires Turle Color (32-bit) to run in a window.
Please go to blah blah and set the screen to 32-bit color.
Alternately, if you choose to run fullscreen, Second Life will automatically adjust the screen each time it runs.
It then goes to Loading Second Life...
After about 2 seconds, nothing happens.

Alt-Enter while running the game switched between full mode and windowed.

From our Wiki: http://secondlife.com/tiki/tiki-index.php?page=TechRenderModeFails
Question: When starting up, Second Life says it's unable to run fullscreen. OR, it says it's unable to run a specific resolution (like 800x600). OR, it says it's unable to run 32-bit color. What can I do to fix this? Answer: Unfortunately, this error message usually means your graphics card isn't compatible with Second Life. If you've checked your graphics card and it is compatible, try updating its drivers. If your graphics card is listed as compatible, and you have the latest drivers, try these steps: 1) Right-click any empty space on your desktop and choose Properties. 1) OR, open the Control Panel, then open Display. 2) Click on the Settings tab. 3) The Color Quality box should read Highest (32-bit). If it does not, change it to Highest (32-bit) and click OK. 4) The Resolution should be at least the resolution Second Life is trying to run at. (In most cases, you probably want it higher, like 1024x768 or 1280x1024.) |

Yea, I found an article stating which graphic cards are compatible and which aren't. Mind is intel.
 I plan on purchasing a new one in 1 week. |
