Ok, I downloaded the new viewer after some pals said "It's the best, try it" "You HAVE to get the new viewer, it rocks!" Now I have a problem.

SL aparently crashed while I was AFK for 5 minutes. I came back to the computer, unable to get the screen to come back up ((After my screen aparently went to sleep without the sleep mode being on)) Now everything, after a restart of the computer((hard boot grr)) is blue. There looks like no red whatsoever on ANYTHING. The graphics card seems fine after diagnostics but the color is still wonky. Is this a problem others are seeing or is my computer just dying?

If you have a CRT monitor, you may have lost the red color gun. Also, be sure your video cable is plugged-in properly at both ends--believe it or not.

Thanks Fender!

if you have pets they are good for unplugging cables
