    Anyone here playing Second Life and using Windows Vista? It won't work for me but I've heard about people who have made it work, I have no idea how to make it work though. Anyone?

    I don't have the game but this tweak might help things. Right-click on your desktop shortcut/start menu application shortcut for second life and go to the compatibility tab. Run the game in XP service pack 2 mode and disable desktop composition. Try it and see if it works for you.

    If you still have problems post any error messages that your system displays.
