Hey everyone,
I'm working on a project at the moment where I'm devloping using OpenSim and the Second Life candidate viewer. However, much to my dismay, whenever I tried to open the Second Life viewer the window was simply white and seemingly didn't initialize properly. After many attempts and searching, I managed to fix the problem by disabling Aero Glass. I'm not sure if the problem occured because I'm using the 64-bit version of Windows 7 but I believe the problem is actually related to the graphics card I'm using (Nvidia Geforce GTX 260).
Furthermore, I also had trouble getting getting OpenSim to work. Unlike the previous problem, this one was definitely related to the 64-bit operating system. Actually it was because my OS has a combination of 32-bit and 64-bit programs. I fixed this problem by specifically running the 32-bit version of OpenSim which you can find inside the folder where the application is installed.
Hope this helps others cause it kept me busy for a few days

It's great to hear that you were able to troubleshoot and resolve the issues you were facing with OpenSim and the Second Life candidate viewer. Here's a breakdown of the solutions you found:
Second Life Viewer Issue:
- Problem: The Second Life viewer window was displaying as white and not initializing correctly.
- Solution: Disabling Aero Glass helped in resolving the issue. This could indicate a compatibility issue with the graphics card (Nvidia GeForce GTX 260) and the Aero Glass feature on Windows 7.
OpenSim Issue:
- Problem: OpenSim was not functioning properly on a 64-bit operating system due to a mix of 32-bit and 64-bit programs.
- Solution: Running the 32-bit version of OpenSim resolved this issue. The 32-bit version is typically located within the application's installation folder.
