Dear everyone,

Since I installed the new drivers of ATI Mobility X700 (the catalyst) my whole screen is messed up. I see all kinds of coloured triangles moving through my screen.

Just to be clear, it's not the 'Show Updates' thing, it shows triangles, blocks and stripes in all sorts of colors in a very fast manner

Does anyone know how I could solve this problem?
Thanks by forward.

I've solved the problem already.

1. Run Second Life from your desktop. You don't have to log in.
2. Open Edit menu > Preferences...
3. Click on the Graphics tab.
4. Click on the button for Hardware Options. Now, look for the fourth option, Enable VBO: Set this to be UNchecked. This means it is turned off.

In the Edit > Preferences > Graphics [Hardward Options] uncheck Enable VBO (disable it)
