When I'm in SL prims without textures appear colorless to me. I tried re-installing my graphics card driver several times, but it doesn't work. I have had this problem since the recent update.

Even with the new update, problem is still not fixed....

Does this still happen if you have vertex shaders (the top option) enabled in preferences > graphics.

It seems to be a problem with nVidia 5xxx graphic cards: /142/54/179605/1.html

If the repro (in post #1) summarizes the problem you're having then read through the entire thread. Post #12 has what I did and what fixed things up for me, #15 is a link to another thread where people reported it solved the issue as well.

One of both should fix your problem :).
