Okay so I updated my videocard to an ATI X1300 256MB the other day, and as soon as I did, I got onto SL and noticed that I couldn't AltCam anymore.
Well, I've tried everything, and since free account holders can't get help from the Lindens, I have to ask you guys.
This is what it's like when I try to altcam:
It's as if it's zooming in onto a transparent prim with max zoom, however, there is no transparent primitive in my way, it's just doing this on it's own accord. This only happens when I zoom in on objects, but I can zoom around on Land and the base of avatars, however as soon as I try to zoom in on an object, my camera spazzes out and I lose the camera half the time..
I need help with this because I build frequently, and AltCamming is highly important for building.
Thanks.

I have been experiencing this problem too, ever since the first voice client. It's pretty annoying when you are working on a extremely small item for some jewelry. I have not been able to determine a cause for it, but I doubt that it is your video card. It happens on my system and several others that are all on different hardware.

The Fix For IT!

Alright, so what you can do is go into Client> Debug Setting> Renderdynamicreflections (it should show up automatically) Make that false, then type in RenderGlow in the debug settings menu, make that false. Go into Edit>Preferences>Networking>Clear Cache.
Restart the client, and it should work. For further answers on this bug/issue:

That's where I got the help from. Now you guys got a fix for it.
