All I can think of is this:

 

Mesh Appears Splotchy, Blotchy, or Has Strange Patches of White or Colors

In Preferences → Graphics → General, make sure Basic Shaders and Hardware Skinning are enabled.

If this doesn't solve your issue, please add some images of what you are seeing. You can use Options - Edit to add these.

ok that took care of splotchy blotcht problem now that i did that it make me slower move

This is what shaders do:

Bump mapping and shiny - Depth and shine effects which are found on various inworld creations.

Basic shaders - Makes inworld look less "flat".

Atmospheric shaders - Realistic sky and water appearance. Basic shaders must be on for this to be enabled.

Water reflections - Whether water reflections appear.

I assume you disabled basic shaders in the first place as your system is less than optimal for the graphics demand of Second Life but using basic shaders does demand resources so unfortunately that is the trade-off for you. Disabling basic shaders also disables atmospheric shaders. Second Life doesn't look too pretty with all those shaders disabled.

You could try another viewer and see if mesh looks better with it.

never had this problem with 4.69 till sl blocked it then had too download 4.73

[Nyll Bergbahn]

If by SL, you mean Linden Lab, note that the Lab did not block 4.69, it was the developers of the third party Firestorm viewer who took this action, as you can read here: http://www.firestormviewer.org/

 

Take the matter up with Firestorm support and also try other viewers.
