I am having a problem with clothing. Everything was fine not too long ago. Now all of a sudden I am getting wonky sleeves on strapless dresses, gloves that go all up my chest, pants that cover my feet....OMG! Here is an example:

After

I thought it was only my viewer, but others see my clothing like this too. I am only a basic account, so I doubt the Linden's will help me! Or will they?

/me is clueless

nVidia card? There is a known issue with the latest drivers, which have become a part of the standard Windows update recently.

Uncheck Advanced->Rendering->Features->Palettized Textures, and rebake. You'll need to do this every time you log in.

Since it's an error in baking the outfit, others see it as well.

You can live with that workaround, install an older version of the driver, or jump on the next RC (where it supposedly is fixed) as soon as it comes out.
