For the past couple of months when I log in to my home location, I'm presented with an image of myself during start-up that is now several weeks old. It's how I was the day of a crash. A few weeks ago, someone suggested that the image was in my cache, so I cleared the cache. This didn't change anything. I logged-in on another machine recently and there was the same weeks-old image. So, it's not my machine.
I keep hoping that this frozen-in-time image of me will disappear with each new update, but it remains.

This really hasn't been a problem for me. It just seems like some kind of glitchy thing. Happen to anyone else? Any ideas how to get back to normal with a current picture at each start-up?

Very mysterious as the picture is here: C:\Documents and Settings\Your Machine's User Name\Application Data\SecondLife\Your Second Life User Name\screen_last.bmp

I could see that there might be a glitch with it not being saved each time you log out... but how it gets on a completely different machine is kinda... spooky.

That should be the image of your AV when you set your home position. If you want it to change then reset the home position.

It falls back to the home position if it thinks there's something wrong with the last position.

I've noticed this happening before, and fixed it by removing both images from the folder.

I had this happen as well. I changed the preference from "always log in at home" to "log in at last location", and it resolved it.

Essentially, if you're telling it to start the session at home, that initial image never updates.
