Graphics driver

when i signed onto SL tonight, i was promted to Updat the new version. which i did, went smoothly. When i ran SL, i got a pop up message saying that my Intel graphics driver was out of date and that i needed to update it. i took the option to click the link supplied and upgrade. But i found nothing for Intel. I had to go to Intel's page and i found a driver update for my system. I downloaded the upgrade, and when i signed on SL, everything was fine, except my avie.... i now appear shorter, wider and out of shape. basically i look like ive been smooshed a little lol. so do other avies, but some others dont.. cant someone PLEASE help me :"
