Okay, so I've been playing Second Life for some time, I had it uninstalled for a while, but I decided to install it again yesterday, with a fresh install from the website. And I run across this weird little bug

Everything texture-wise on me or in my inventory, and my UI is pixelated. I see everyone else and other objects just as they should be.

I thought this was a dust/overheat related issue but I cleaned thoroughly and turned my computer off for about a day to cool it down, it felt perfectly cool after. Cut it back on and got the same result.

Please, I could use any advice.

Oh, and I'm using a nVidia 7600 GT (128 mb)

reinstall directx?
did you update the drivers?

i make a habit of reinstalling direct X then the video driver, i dont know if this is an issue any more but old directx *ie like version 7, liked to overwrite dll's that your much newer video drivers just installed

Firstly, I'd clear the SL cache. Edit > Preferences > Network > Clear Cache

If that doesn't help, then uninstall your video drivers, and install the latest version.
