can you help me all i see is a white blob not my person every time i get on it does the same thing PLZ HELP ME

[peakdavid]

@stich7771 -->> The white blob is caused by a delay in the avatar rezzing. Delays can be caused by a number of factors: SL being slow, that grid being slow. If it happens all the time, it's probably your computer lacking enough graphics power and bandwidth to get the job done.

my computer wont load up the code thingy

[peakdavid]

Sounds like a problem with the connection or memory thingy.

when i got second life my avatar was a white oval. why?

[peakdavid]

@e1011000 -- usually happens when your connection is too slow and/or not enough computer power, especially the graphics card.

[topvideo]

There are so many places, and I have a really hard time choosing which place to go! Usually every place is abandoned, and then it gets annoying to me.

[Vamprahahtus333]

This must be the old version because I do not see 0:40 any where.

[ronniteach]

Does anyone know how to put your own words on your name tag, for example "Joe's wife"?

[MizzYungMacMar]

Its moving awful slow..& I dont have the patience. Im guessing my computer doesnt meet the requirements anymore, because it had at one point uploaded & downloaded just fine without the long wait.
