Hi, i'm here taring my hair out, as over the past month if i suddenly crash, wheni log back in, i lose sound and video plus voice, inability to TP or view my and information and groups. I literally have to shutdown the whole computer, wait 10 minutes, reboot... and its pot luck if i get it back, only to normally crash again. I tried updating to the Emerald Viewer but i still have the same problems. No one i know seems to have all these issues? Any light at the end of the tunnel from anyone? thank you :)

If you crash it's probably prudent to clear your cache in case things are corrupted. Resetting modem/router is good, too.

Having to reboot your computer to remedy the problem seems to indicate that something is still running or hanging on to resources that probably caused the crash in the first place. You might try to find and correct that problem. Try a different viewer. Uninstall the client again and do a search for anything SL or Second Life and manually remove them from your hard drive before reinstalling. Check for current video drivers and audio drivers, settings and if you are using voice make sure your mic/headset is set up correctly.

Once a program crashes you operating system should shut all processes related to that program down.......yours seems to be not doing that.
