I suppose I should seek out an SL Eye Doctor.. for the last couple of days I seem to not be able to focus on smaller objects like photos and text. Does anyone know what might be causing this?

I have been doing alot of building in the last couple of days and uploaded alot of textures. Is there a problem having to much stuff in inventory that may cause this?

I have tried the focus tool etc but nothing is working.. standing in front of an object for 5 minutes is still not bringing it into focus.

If I'm not blind then I'm gonna go blind trying to focus on everything... HELP!

the progressive texture loading seems to be really messed up right now. sometimes they just never finish loading, or take an obnoxiously long time.

Don't you remember what your mother told you?

Yes, I've just started noticing in the past week or so that many textures on my buildings just never finish loading.

I had this prob and "solved" it by deleting all files in my cache. c:\Documents and Settings\<username>\application data\secondlife\cache\

Maybe not the best answer.

I talked to Nova Linden today and was suggested that I uninstall and reinstall SL. I did and it cleared up the problem I was having on the focus..

It only took 5 minutes to get it all done so think it is worth the effort if you continue to have the non focus problem. Nova also suggested setting Cache to 1000 under edit/prefrences/network.

Hope this helps anyone having this problem.

Yeah, I've heard it's a database problem, and that, like database-corruption-related crashes, it requires an uninstall and reinstall, (easiest) or a full wipe of your cache. (slower).
