Black Av. regardless which skin, shape or clothes are attached

Hi,

I have tried a DEMO hair which resulted in totally black outfit. Changing skin has helped to remove the black color but the clothes wearing were invisible. I have cleared the cache without any improvement, I even run two different clients (MS and Linux) where the problem still exists on both. I have detached all object from my av. and tried to start from a default skin shape etc. with
the result that all is now black again and clothes are either not visible or black.

Any suggestions are very welcome!

Thanks.

clear cache, turn off avatar vertex

And make sure you have a vid card that is supported, ati/nvidia, intel isnt.

Try rebaking your avatar's skin.

Thanks for the answers... the solution has been to use a nvida graphic card as the two other laptops I am using running respectively Linux and XP are with Intel 945G/GZ and 915GM cards does not work and either the av. is black or naked...

Unless there is any solution which will get intel gr. cards to work properly in sl!
This seems very strange that Intel cards are not supported.

Thanks.
