A friend of mine is having problems with the select texture feature. He does not get the white select lines or the circle with the + inside it. He see's nothing. Been going on for some time. He's been trying to change the colors on 2 sides of a prim but it's not working for him. Does he have something in client checked he shouldnt have? Very frustrating! And yes, these are prims he's made himself, not something he's bought
Thanks for the help!

As far as I know, there is no deliberate way to turn off the bullseye, although I'm sure someone will jump up to correct me if I'm wrong.
I can think of two possible causes for what your friend is seeing. First would be if the repeats and offsets on the surfaces in question are such that the bullseye is moved out of view. For example, if the repeats are at a low value like 0.1 per face, and the offsets are at something like 0.45x0.45, then you'd be looking just at a small corner portion of the texture. Since the bullseye occupies the center part, it wouldn't show up if all you're looking at is the corner.
Second, it could be a video card/driver issue. Is your friend's hardware supported by SL? Does he/she have the latest drivers for it? Assuming he/she is a Windows user, does he/she have the current version of DirectX installed? If the answer to any of those questions is no, then all kinds of bizarre display behavior can happen.

Sometimes people miss or forget the obvious, so I have to ask. Does your friend have the "select texture" radio button selected?

Thanks for the help! If your inventory hasn't sorted and indexed yet, you can't properly select and change the texture. But you should still get the target bullseye if you clicked the "select texture" radio button before clicking on a prim face.

is the side he has selected a solid color already?
if so are the repeats 0.00 by 0.00 or smal very small number? if this is the case you may not see the selected face indication face thing since it scales the same amount as the repeats on a non-animated texture.
