Sets various technical aspects of your Second Life experience.<br />
<br />
{{UIref<br />
| Other Devices<br />
| Opens the {{winlink|Joystick Configuration}} window so you can configure an additional input device such as a {{Xref|SpaceNavigator}}.}}<br />
<br />
{{UIref<br />
| Mouselook<br />
|<br />
* '''Mouse sensitivity''' - If you have to repeatedly drag your mouse in {{Xref|mouselook}}, drag this slider to the right so you can move your mouse further with less effort.<br />
* '''Invert''' - Check this to move the mouse down in mouselook to shift your view upwards, and move the mouse up to shift your view downwards, useful in some types of mouselook-driven vehicles like realistic planes. Moving your mouse left and right is unchanged.}}<br />
<br />
{{UIref<br />
| Network<br />
|<br />
* '''Maximum bandwidth''' - Sets the maximum rate that the Viewer can download contnet (default is <code>500</code> kbps). Lower this value if you encounter a lot of {{Xref|packet loss}} and server-side {{Xref|lag}}. This is a ''maximum'' value; experiment to find the best value for your setup.<br />
* '''Custom port and Port number''' - Check '''Custom port''' if you need to use a specific TCP/IP '''Port number''' to access Second Life, such as if you're behind a firewall. Otherwise, you don't need to change this.<br />
* '''Cache size''' - Second Life uses a {{Xref|cache}} to speed retrieval of recently-downloaded inworld assets. For example, when you log in to a location the second time, the Viewer uses your cache and doesn't have to re-download all the content. A larger cache may be advantageous on a very fast hard drive; the default of <code>512</code> MB is OK for most people. Unrelated to '''Clear History''' in the {{vh|Preferences - Privacy|Privacy tab}}.<br />
* '''Browse''' - Click this to see and change the cache location.<br />
* '''Reset''' - Reverts the cache location to its default place.}}<br />
<br />
{{UIref<br />
| Web<br />
| How you want to view web content:<br />
* '''Use built-in browser''' - Default to the Viewer's integrated browser. Note the built-in browser window has a button to launch your external browser.<br />
* '''Use my browser (IE, Firefox)''' - Default to using your preferred external web browser, useful if you need to bookmark a page externally or view content which isn't accessible within Second Life.<br />
* '''Web proxy''' - Check this if you need to set a web proxy to access Second Life. {{red|DISABLED AT THE MOMENT.}}}}</div>Rand Linden
