Ever since I upgraded my graphics card some colors on my SL have changed to a milky white instead of what they are supposed to be. Does anyone know a solution to my problem?

I've posted 2 screenshots to help explain my problem, the first one is what I see,
the second one is what a friend of mine sees.

There was a problem a while ago that seemed to only affect people with an nVidia 5xxx card (which you said in-world you have):

Colour overlay for textures not working: /142/54/179605/1.html - Post #12 has the step-by-step

That one is my original thread with a work-around that fixed it for me (post back or bug me in-world if it's unclear for some reason since it could be a bit out of date if nVidia moved their settings around since then :)).

You can look at post #15 in that thread as well, which links to a quote from another thread where someone used a proggie to fix it for them, so that could be worth a try as well.

Hope that helped, good luck :).

I changed the settings to performance in the options and then back to quality and I can see my right colors now.
