Second Life
Purpleduck:
Dream and Astro, reading your comments about your problems, I was reminded of something similar, from the "original" NoBS group that went into SL.
The sticky thread here, labeled as SL tips http://www.vmknobs.com/index.php?topic=350.0 might(?) help. Check in particular replies #10 and #11. HIH

Our system met all the requirements and our graphics card was on their list, so Hubby checked out the SL forums last night
and found this advice that was posted for someone else.
"Anyway, if you're getting some real graphics issues, try going into >
PREFERENCES (CTRL-P) > GRAPHICS > HARDWARE OPTIONS (in lower right)
and unchecking the ENABLE VBO."
Astro:
Interesting stuff. Thanks for the posts. I will have to go back and check everything out. I thought my requirements were ok too.

Okay, I made it in. Wow am I LOST!!! I managed to change a couple things on my appearance but it wouldn't let me do anything with my newbie hair. It's brown and I want to be a redhead--stayed brown no matter what I did. I found a sign with some help subjects on it and checked the one about Looking Good, hoping I'd get some help there, and didn't understand anything the writers were talking about. And why do I walk like a complete spaz? Not that all this matters a whole lot, since I really just wanted to get in and check out the Disney stuff, but I'd like to look not quite so noobish and also have a better idea how this place works. Even the Help Island confuses me!! Anybody care to help me out??

Newbie hair can be really hard to get rid of, but by using a bald cap you can put all your new hairs on top of that. Makes it really easy to change hair. I will drop one on you this morning, you will see it as an offer of inventory from me (Teather Zetkin). Accept it, then find it in your inventory, right click it and select wear. You will be bald. Now make sure you have another hair to pop on to yourself before you pop on the bald cap. LOL I was soooooooooooooooo lost in Second Life for the first week, however I sat there and learned how to manipulate my apperance and played with my inventory till I realized what I was doing. Once you have those 2 things down, there is a huge world out there to explore......................Good Luck
