Hi, i recently just started getting soem weird problems with my graphics card since i updated my Vista to 64bit....ok, lets explain wot problems im getting, everytime i update my graphics card to the latest driver i seem to get this weird conflict against SL which makes my clothes act weird..... heres a pic:

Ok, so some1 asked me to try an older Driver, not that much older but 1 before the latest 1, so i download that, install it.....and its ok, untill it randomly messes the screen up and i have to reinstall the driver each time...heres a pic:

the latest driver only seems to conflict with Secondlife, i have Shirts to create & need this fixing, im sure its nothing to do with my system but the driver conflicting with SL.


just thought id say im using a 8800GTX with 64BIT Vista , 4GB RAM

Does the problem go away, or remain, if you clear SL's cache?

First pic is a known bug with the latest nvidia driver.

The second picture youve shown looks like the VBO artifacting but i haven't heard of it happening for a while. Try turning off VBO in SL in hardware options.

I can confirm the 177.92 Nvidia drivers do the same thing to my clothes.

Wearing Armidi jeans I get the same Copyright material stretched along the bottom of my cuffs and all over my feet.

Thinking it was just the jeans I switched to another pair, same thing just a different texture being stretched.

Gunna have to revert back to older drivers I suppose, unless there's a fix for this?

8800GT, Vista 64bit, 2gb ram.

EDIT: Reverted back to newest WHQL-certified drivers (175.19), problem was still there UNTIL youtake off the existing pants/item and put it back on. Even after taking it off the problem was still on my feet, i had to go to appearance and change the pants length to full, accept and then go back and set it to where i had it.
