Second Life Graphics Distortion

sugarspundt · 04-11-2008, 04:34 PM

I'm new to this game.
However, my graphics card (I don't know what else it would be) seems to be distorting everything.
I find this confusing because I play WOW and have never had this problem.

I have an ATI catalyst driver.
And on the Second Life website they say to reset ATI if characters appear "blacked out" (mine aren't blacked out, but i assume this would help?).
I'm probably overlooking something, but I can't manage to figure out how to go about reseting my driver.

And, if this isn't the problem, i don't know what course of action should be taken next.

A picture of my problem:

What confuses me most is that, for the most part, the backgrounds are "normal".

Can anyone tell me what steps I can take to fix this?

I figured out the problem.

I went to preferences and changed the graphics quality around and it went away. Thankfully, a simple solution.
