Can not edit appearance!

Ok, When I go to edit appearance, all the screens to edit become random patterns, like zebra print, and change over and over. I can not click on anything. My body starts to show weird patterns all over and keep changing. I'll have a bunch of eyes for hair, words on my body, the pupils of my eyes become pictures... do I have a virus?
Can I clean out my inventory, maybe I downloaded something bad?
Anyone else having problems?

Go into preference > ctrl+p
change Graphic Details / Avatar Vertex Program to off

Should do it, or you have a vid card/driver SL dont like.
