I am having some computer issues. My computer is dead and I am using my husband’s computer which apparently hates SL. I don’t get how his computer can run EVE but not SL(bandwidth, I know). I talked with Scotti last night about ideas until I can get all set again. Basically, I cannot really get into SL without crashing. It looks like I have to send my laptop off to Dell and wait for them to return it.
In the mean time, if you choose to take on mission #1. I am looking for your favorite outfits from pieces collected at the Gnubie Store.
When you have the outfit you like and have taken a pictures of it, post it on our Flickr photostream with “For FabFree: The Gnubie Store” in the description. Our Flickr photostream is located at http://www.flickr.com/groups/fabfreesl/.
Please try to include in the desciption:
1. What you are wearing?
2. What designers made each piece(slurl if possible)?
3. What was the cost? (Some items are the Gnubie store are free and some are $1L)
I will take our favorites and post them on the blog with full credit to you.

I want to thank the girls for being understanding about this and thank you all so much for your patience. I know some of you tried to help me earlier last week the computer started acting up.
Cher.
Thank you so much for the opportunity!! I am a frequent reader of your blog for some time now. I really appreciate the effort taken to alert us to good fashion. Thanks again!!!

Hi Cher,
Have you tried the release client instead of the regular sl client? SL is not designed to work with multi-core processors so those with really good computers often have these crashing problems until they change to use release client. Other problem may be your firewall. Go to your control panel and firewall and allow sl to be an exception allowed access to internet. I hope one of these will help you get back online with your husband’s computer until yours can be fixed! :-) Thanks for the great blog! Hi Hazel! :-)

You should try to download ‘open GL profiler’ (it’s free) to use SL… I had to do this with my mac laptop until the issue was fixed. It uses a lot of memory though! Good luck :)
He is being overprotective about installing anything on his computer so I don’t know. Someone said to try one of the clients by Nicholaz but so far I am not having much luck. :( Thank you for all the tips.
Cher, with the Nicholaz client, all you need to do is place three files into your normal SL viewer Program Files folder, then place a new shortcut onto your desktop (or wherever you want it). This then starts the Nicholaz version of the client (with lots of bugfixes that are still waiting on the JIRA for the official client, and especially with that horrible memory leak fixed). I’m not sure if your “not having much luck” is because you’ve not found the Nicholaz files you need, or if they’re not working, so just in case it’s the former, you can find them here:
http://nicholaz-beresford.blogspot.com/2008/05/version-overview.html
That page will tell you which of the versions you need, based on which version of the official client you’re using.
Incidentally, the Nicholaz viewer looks *exactly* like the SL one, so if the other half looked over your shoulder he probably wouldn’t even notice the difference, unless he looked at the title bar more closely *g*
There are also always SLeek and AjaxLife, both of which are text-only viewers (and AjaxLife is web-based, so nothing to install at all there). No good for blogging nice pics etc, I know, but if you need to get in-world to chat and IM, they’re better than nothing at all.
