Hi after relogging into my Second Life game I experienced an extreme problem that I don't understand the reason for, my computer is up to date and I'm not sure if it may be a driver error or not. But these are some desktop pictures I took what what it looks like when I look around in world and the weird effects it causes.

Here is a link to the problem I'm having, and for technical information I will list below it what it says I have straight from my STEAM System Information. Please help me with this weird major problem or what might be the cause of it.

Hmmm... maybe try turning off OpenGL Vertex Buffer Objects in Graphics under Hardware Options.

They really should set the viewer to disable VBO's by default whenever ATI hardware is detected. We see this same question here almost every single day from ATI users, sometimes more than once a day. It's getting a little old.
