SL and Windows 7

[Pietro Maracas]

We've done some preliminary testing of SL on a Windows 7 computer. Basic functionally seems to work. Has anyone else used SL on Windows 7? Also, does LL have a compatibility statement yet? Their website requirements still list XP and Vista only. Also, a quick search of their website showed mixed comments, but mostly that SL does work on Windows 7.

Most of the problems appear to be from incompatibility between Windows 7 and old video drivers.  I've been running for a few months on Windows 7 with no problems.  I'm sure LL will get around to adding Windows 7 support about the same time they list the Nvidia 200 series cards as supported.

I've been using Windows 7 since Beta, through RC, and release version
for a while now. SL's performed better for me under 7 than XP or Vista
- slightly better frame rate, much lower crash rate. Some of that may
be related to more stable viewers of late (too many variables - just
going off gut reaction), but I've been pleased.

The key is to ensure your video drivers work well under Windows 7.

I, too, have been using Windows 7 for a few months, and have had fewer problems with Second Life and Meerkat Viewer, even.

Ditto here.  Less problems in fact than with either Vista or XP.
