-The first step is to verify that your graphics card is compatible with Second Life.
-If your card is one of the listed compatible graphics cards, make sure you have the latest graphics drivers installed.
-If you have installed drivers from a company other than ATI or nVidia (such as ASUS Drivers or utilities), try uninstalling them and use the nVidia/ATI drivers instead.
-If your card is compatible, and your drivers are current, there's a chance that the display's '''Troubleshoot''' slider (within Windows) is turned down too far.
-Make sure the display Troubleshooting slider is set correctly with the following steps:
-# Right-click any empty space on your desktop and choose '''Properties'''. '''OR''', open the '''Control Panel''', then open '''Display'''.
-# Click on the '''Settings''' tab.
-# Click the '''Advanced''' button.
-# Click on the '''Troubleshoot''' tab.
-# The '''Troubleshoot''' slider should be all the way to the right. If it isn't, slide it all the way to the right, click '''OK''', then restart your computer.
