Unfortunately, this error message usually means your graphics card isn't compatible with Second Life. If you've checked your graphics card and it is compatible, try updating its drivers.
 
If your graphics card is listed as compatible, and you have the latest drivers, try these steps:
 
==Check Display settings==
 
# Right-click any empty space on your desktop and choose '''Properties'''.'''OR''', open the Control Panel, then open Display.
# Click on the '''Settings''' tab.
# The '''Color Quality''' box should read '''Highest (32-bit)'''. If it does not, change it to '''Highest (32-bit)''' and click '''OK'''.
# The '''Resolution''' should be at least the resolution Second Life is trying to run at. (In most cases, you probably want it higher, like 1024x768 or 1280x1024.)
 
==Check Windows Program Compatibility settings==
 
# Right-click the Second Life Icon and choose '''Properties'''.
# Go to the '''Compatibility''' tab.
# Make sure everything is unchecked.
