Interface graphics are slowly or not at all rendered

[Donch]

Why are the graphics in any lcoation I vist, not fully developed and my avatar has 50% of a body that extends to some unknown point?

My other concern and disappointment is that the screen goes to black making it unable to use the inventory or enjoy the semi developed location.

Is there something you all can do on your end to assist or are there some tips you may have for me?

You seem to have a ATI/AMD graphics card in your computer.  Those cards are optimized primarily for DirectX applications, so tend to have more problems in OpenGL environments like Second Life than NVidia cards do.  You'll find suggestions for handling some of the issues you described at http://wiki.phoenixviewer.com/ati .  The specific problem with spikes extending from your av body is addressed at http://wiki.phoenixviewer.com/mesh_issues
