Ok here's the deal!
I get in SL with my Nvidia 52.xx drivers and all the notecards/scripts are little suqares. Fine. So I roll back to my Nvidia 41.09 drivers! Everything is fixed BUT SL tells me that I don't have an AGP card anymore. So I go install my latest AGP drivers, same thing SL tells me that I do not have an AGP card. Yet I have a GF2 GTS 64MEG DDR. So my question is this, what setup are you guys running for Nvidia drivers? Anyone have any ideas?
Vid Card: Asus GF2 GTS 64MEG DDR
Mobo Asus: A7A266

Upgrade to the latest drivers, reinstall SL and reboot.
For some reason, certain PCs need to be rebooted after installation, because fonts get corrupted during install and you can't read notecard.
Weird.

If it's saying that you have a PCI video card when you don't, chances are that you need to upgrade the AGP drivers for your motherboard. You'll want to check ASUS's site for new motherboard drivers, or maybe ALi's?

Ok I got the new drivers from Ali and the Nvidia 52.xx installed. It all works well, I have an AGP vid card now and it's about 50% faster to load land and objects. The only problem that's i'm getting is that when I toggle out of SL to check the LSL files and stuff Photosho and whatnot, when I come back in everthing is in squares and I need to restart SL.

Nexus, try the "Run In A Window" option under display preferences then double click the SL titlebar so it fills the screen. I used to have the same video corruption problem when running fullscreen and this took care of it.
