For the last two months or so, I've been having irregular crashes.

Sometimes they happen while I fly, other times, they can happen while I do nothing. Hard to pinpoint if it is anything I do, since it can happen while I'm not even having SL as the active window.

According to my log, the error is always the same.
Here is the SecondLife.log lines:

2007-01-02T17:24:06Z C:\linden\Branch_1-13-1\indra\newview\lldrawable.cpp(400) : error
2007-01-02T17:24:06Z ERROR: C:\linden\Branch_1-13-1\indra\newview\lldrawable.cpp(400) Drawable became static with active parent!

I was just wondering if anyone had an idea if this error comes from a setting on my graphics card? Maybe I can just change a setting for SL and fix it? I'm using a nVidia GeForce 7900 GTO.

I've never had crashes before, they came out of the blue a couple of months ago, with an update. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Edit after Strife's move:
Well, that's nice of you Strife, I'm sure you had the best of intentions.

But after sending hundreds of reports without ever getting any feeback, I had given up on LL about this error.

I was kinda hoping that someone else may have a clue, that's why I posted it in residents answers. Since this error obviously doesn't happen to all others using nVidia, I was thinking it may be my card setup.

As it is now put in Linden Answers, I feel the chance of getting a tip that can solve this problem is even more unlikely.

Hi Moonshine,

Sounds like you have already filed a few bug reports on this. You should contact our support group directly, since this is a specific issue directly affecting you. Please either email or phone support, and they should be able to work with you to try and resolve this.

The other thing you can do is make sure you have the very latest graphics drivers for your video card. Sometimes an updated version of the client will cause problems for folks who are using outdated graphics drivers. You can download the most current nvidia drivers here: http://www.nvidia.com/content/drivers/drivers.asp
