New computer - Graphics issues

[Mick Palletier]

I recently bought a new desktop computer with a screen resolution of 1920 x 1080.  Second Life has loaded just fine and the main picture is working fine and in HD.  However, the toolbars keep flashing on and off in different colours.  Any help please?

Even if your computer is new, the graphics card may have been manufactured some time ago. Check for available updated drivers on the manufacturer's web site. 

On Windows:

• ATI/AMD drivers
• NVIDIA drivers
• Intel drivers

Apple integrates hardware and software more closely than Windows. Problems are less likely, but there are fewer revisions and workarounds (provided throughSoftware Update).

If it's a new computer, presumably it has Windows 8 but what graphics are you using? If an Intel chipset, have a read of these JIRAs on the Phoenix/Firestorm website, which could be relevant.
