My SecondLife software crashes within seconds (literally: 2 to 15 seconds) of making what appears to be an OK connection.
And that's about it. I can't see any reason for it, and this appears to be the only place I can go for help.
Thanks.

Hello Ef and welcome to the forum. At whish point do you crash? What's the last thing on the screen you see?
Have you checked your system specs against requirements on the web site and how close to them are you? CPU, RAM, Graphics?
Have you successfully logged in in the past?
Cheers, Bilbo99

Hi.
The crash comes a few seconds (variable, about 2 - 15) after a successful connection. If I have the time, I can start to move around normally. I once even had time to fire up the appearance editor.
I have noticed that the display goes haywire momentarily, with improperly rendered triangles appearing, for a second or two before I get dropped back to my Windows desktop and that little crash reporting application. This has prompted me to go in search of graphics driver updates.
Cheers.

From: EF Klaar This has prompted me to go in search of graphics driver updates. Excellent first line of defence. I had to upgrade mine a couple of months back when LL brought an update in. I'm running an ATI Radeon 9550 which is a little elderly but heck, so long as modern drivers are being written for it, it will do for me  edit: Just reminded me looking at the other thread, very important you get your OpenGL driver to V2.x. That was the crunch for me.

I had a very similar issue last summer, and it turned out to be a bad RAM module.

A graphics driver update has fixed the problem.
Cheers.

See my thread elsewhere in this forum, EF. If you have an ATI card, you are apparently doomed and gloomed, like me.
Hugs.
