Although SL has always said it doesn't support my cruddy Intel 900 GMA they insist on throwing into laptops, It has always run fine. I return from a long SL vacation, and everyone is pixelated and moving like robots, all except my avatar. I don't know if it has anything to do with the new, (to me), Wind Light thing, or if my card is null and void now.
I reinstalled it and searched for any possible answers to no avail, I ask you all.
It would really be a bummer to part with SL, that wind light looks rather spiffy.
Thanks!

u might try and turn avatar imposters off too.and lower your graphicsetting too. and bring your draw distance in closer

The imposter setting seemed to be the culprit, what is that about?
Everything is still a bit sluggish, but at least it's better.

An alternative is to keep Avatar imposters enabled, but turn up the Avatar quality. That extends the draw range, but still lets you reap some performance benefits from the setting.
