However the Graphics Card is listed in the GNU list as a 3, so I don't understand what is happening. It is happening with both the main release and the newest release candidate

Summary

AMD 1.3GHz, GeForce 3 crashes

System

AMD 1.3GHz, GeForce 3 (A system I no longer have)

More info

My old AMD 1.3GHz, GeForce 3 system and would crash when many objects or people were in view. Games such as Far Cry and UT 2004 also crashed. I found that if I ran these really old (2003) video drivers (http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp-2k_44.03.html) SL would run stable, but any newer drivers would crash. If you have a old (1 - 1.5 GHz) AMD and a GeForce 2,3, or 4 that's crashing, please send in the crash reports and then IM me. Alternately, try the old nVidia drivers.

Problem with Compaq Presario V6741US, Intel 965 Chip set: crashes and some bad fonts

Summary

The laptop, which is brand new, crashes fairly often, say every 20 minutes of light use. It can crash even while I am sitting still. Have not noticed a pattern to what may be causing the crashes externally - it may be some internal factors. Crashing occurs even when the laptop is connected directly to the LAN. There are no viruses present, and I use Trend Micro Anti-virus, and MS Firewall (Win XP).

I am wondering if running in a compatibility mode or what other setting, could make the difference.

System

CPU: Intel Core 2 Series Processor (1662 MHz) Memory: 2039 MB OS Version: Microsoft Windows 2000 (Build 2195) Graphics Card Vendor: Intel Graphics Card: Intel 965/963 Graphics Media Accelerator OpenGL Version: 1.5.0 - Build 7.14.10.4924 LLMozLib Version: 1.1.0 (Mozilla GRE:1.8.0.12_0000000000) Packets Lost: 0/9002 (0.0%) Viewer Digest: 6b1bac12-2a86-e

More info

I know Intel is not officially supported, but I did see a note that chip sets of 945 and above should work well. I have tried a number of different graphics and video settings, but this has not changed behavior. Also, some texts inside SL are perfectly normal and clear, while in other environments such as inside chat and IM windows, the text is terribly broken up (i and l literally look identical, as an example). I have MS Word 2003 with all fonts installed. What else to do??

TIA.

Comments

Intel graphic is officially supported. see here. I'm not sure but one of my friend had same trouble, and After he reset "chat text size" to default then the problems gone. Would you mind try it?
