i am having truoble with secondlife.com...ive downloaded it ok but it just freezes when i go to play it. I have a newish laptop, I have 29gb space left on my drive so i think that is plenty to support this. What else could be stopping it from working...? Other than this everything runs fast! Thanks in advance

Second Life is not compatible with dial-up internet, satellite internet, and some wireless internet services.
Second Life may not run on all graphics/video cards. Unfortunately, if your graphics card includes any of the following words, it's NOT compatible with Second Life:
nVidia cards that report as a RIVA TNT or TNT2
ATI cards that report as RAGE or RAGE PRO
ATI cards that report as RADEON 320M, 340M, 345M, or similar model numbers
Intel
Intel Extreme
3DFX
RIVA
TNT
SiS
S3
S3TC
Savage
Twister
Rage
Kyro
MILENNIA
most cards by MATROX
The following cards have not been tested with Second Life, and compatibility is not certain:
nVidia cards that report as Quadro
ATI cards that report as RADEON IGP or RADEON XPRESS
ATI cards that report as FireGL
ATI cards that report as FireMV
If none of the above relates to your issue, make sure you have the latest versions of Java and Direct X installed.
I hope this helps you to find a solution.

Hi. Your first answer is probably right, not enough graphics power, but check to see if you have enough available RAM. Most games use quite a bit. Your Hard drive space is not usually a factor unless it gets nearly full and fragmented.

This is probably down to your graphics card, check it against the list of the ones that do/don't work posted on their site (at the bottom of the System Requirements page)

Laptops dont usually have good enough graphics cards to support some games?
It may be that?

It sounds as though your laptop isn't powerfull enough to run that program!
