Can't remove textures from avatar

Hi Folks,

I've used a skin that uses "tattoo" textures for the head and body. This skin looks fine by itself. However, when I change clothes, the textures for the shirt extend to cover my arms/hands and the pants texture cover my shoes/feet. For example, while I'm editing my appearance and remove my clothes, the skin looks correct. When I wear a pair of tie-dyed shorts, the tie-dye pattern goes past the bottom of the shorts and down my legs to the ground. wearing a shirt extends the shit's texture down my arms and over my hands including my fingers.

I've tried everything that I can in the appearance editor with no different results. I've selected my skin and removed the "tattoos", and my my head skin takes on the color of my hair and the body is milk white.

Any secrets for Nvidia 7600GS users? Or, is there a guide for returning your avatar to a "just joined" state?

CPU: Intel Core 2 Series Processor (2327 MHz)
Memory: 2816 MB
OS Version: Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 3 (Build 2600)
Graphics Card Vendor: NVIDIA Corporation
Graphics Card: GeForce 7600 GS/PCI/SSE2
OpenGL Version: 2.1.2

The Nvidia driver is version 181.22

Thanks for any guidance.

Thanks Liisa, I tried that and Nvidia driver downgrades with no luck.

I just found the answer to this less than 30 minutes ago. It turns out it was an issue with the skin "tattoo" I was using. Another SLer showed me how to properly remove the complete skin and things are now back to normal (three other skins tested don't do this, but the first still does).

I don't remember where I got that old skin, I believe it was at one of the freebie stores that's no longer around (from a year or so back). I've just dumped that old skin.
