I log in to game, it starts to download "inventory" , then Terms of Service Agreement Screen appears and it says "Loading" but does not continue. Neither computer nor the program crashes but I can't pass that screen. (I have Second Life installed on a Win98 system)
Please Help

well i am on a dial up conn. with 56k
but we are in Turkey so it is never 56k, slower than that.
My computer's specs must match with this game's requirements.(Radeon 9200 Graphic Card, 512 DDR Ram, P4 2.4GHz, 56k modem, and other stuff)
But my system is windows98 and the setup i downloaded was for win2000 and winxp. I looked for Win98 setup but there wasn't any.
Thanks for your time.

You seriously need to get more bandwith. It's a pain at 144kbit/s, and at 56k or less it's pretty much unplayable. You might manage to log on and chat a bit if you turn the bandwith settings (custom) way down (alot less than 56k in summary). The server side bandwith throttling isn't very exact, so if those settings are too high, the server will basically flood your line and the responses from your computer will never make it back, causing you to timeout. At 144kbit/s I had to set the custom settings to a total bandwith of around 64kbit/s or less. You'll probably still get flooded when you go near a sim border or when theres many people around. It's not going to be fun in any case.
