Thank you Marigold for Replying ^^

Update your graphics card drivers

i dont think i can cuz the graphics card is built in and that what i read i have to get a new whole motherboard to get a new graphics card , but i think mine now worked fine before this new one ? 

plus other viwer works just fine , ( Firestorm )  .. and Phoenix , imprudence .. doesnt show mesh for me  

.. SL older versions worked fine with me only when i downloaded the last one , >_<

i tried now to download one of the old one that used to work with me .. But Again , they are all doing the same things .

Sounds like your laptop is now using onboard Intel graphics with SL following the update instead of the discrete Nvidia graphics card. Your Dell XPS has Nvidia Optimus which switches graphics from onboard graphics to the discrete graphics card when the application demands it. Nvidia Optimus has caused problems for SL users in the past as SL was not triggering the switch to the graphics card.

You need to update your graphics card driver (not the graphics card). Use the Nvidia auto-find Option 2 if you wish.

If you still have issues, follow Soho's instructions here on setting an application profile in the Nvidia Control Panel.
