The common solution to fixing pink is to update your video drivers.

On Windows:

• ATI/AMD drivers
• NVIDIA drivers
• Intel drivers

See this JIRA. It's from Firestorm but the fixes apply to the official viewer:

http://jira.phoenixviewer.com/browse/FIRE-4945

Other than updating your drivers, here is the fast fix:

 

• Update to the 12.1 Catalyst driver from http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/windows/Pages/radeonmob_win7-64.aspx?type=2.4.2&product=2.4.2.3.31〈=us&rev=&ostype=Windows%207%20-%2064-Bit%20Edition
  or run the AMD driver autodetect tool to update: http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/windows/Pages/auto_detect.aspx
  
  

• *Fast "Fix":
  • Bring up the Advanced top menu with CTRL+ALT+D
    Then Advanced -> Debug settings -> RenderMaxTextureIndex -> Set this to zero
    This should fix the pink textures but may also cause a drop in your FPS (Frames per second)
  • Disabling Basic Shaders (Avatar -> Preferences -> Graphics -> General -> Advanced -> Basic shaders) will also stop the pink, but things will not look as pretty.

I am an Nvidia user and my experience with this issue was resolved simply by clearing my cache and relogging. Then rebaked my avatar using ctrl-alt-r. I think The pink was a result of the viewer forcing my settings back down to medium. when before update it was set at ultra. The cache was ulta resolution with shadows and the viewer was set to medium and dismissing shadows. I think the pink is the shadows that were supposed to be rezzed... Just my theory on things...... Good Luck
