I keep getting this message, when I try to log on, "Second Life Requires true Color 32 bit to run in a window". I have 32 color set. My graphics card is ATI RADEON 300X. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the graphics card and installed the latest drivers from ATI.com. Thursday, I was in game and went to change the force sun to sunset. I froze and then logged out. When I tried to get back in, i received the above message. Friday, after i uninstalled and reinstalled the graphics card, and SL, I was able to get back in again. Today, I get the same message, now even uninstalling reinstalling the game, and the drivers isnt working for me, I still get the error message "requires true color....". It is set to 32 bit.... Other games like WOW work fine, please help  Thank you. |

Its not easy, try the Following :
Does the ATI card support Dual Screens (2 monitors connected) ?
this can lead to problems, disable the 2nd screen.
Do you have a remote control Application running, like VNC ?
its not good for gaming, disable / quit / uninstall it.
good luck, you will need it.

Sounds like you just need to update your drivers..
on the ATI site above where you download the drivers, is a cleaner..
Run the cleaner, download the driver, reboot..
once rebooted, then installed the new driver, and should be fine.

It worked, Michael, think it wanted the cleaner, and not just add/remove programs. Thank you!

Not to be a pest, but this morning, its back to "needs 32 bit..." Why would it work one day and not the next? Cache is clear, virus scans done, etc. Any ideas? TY!
