I get black sections around transparencies, like some prim hair that I bought. The thin parts of the flexible rectangles that make up the head of hair or pure black, while the wide sides show the texture (with transparency when appropriate.) How do I get rid of this?

 

I recently installed a new NVidia GeForce that SL said was "not supported". I guess it is too new. Is there some other way to work around this problem, besides getting a different video card? The drivers are up to date. My computer is powerful enough. I have enough bandwidth.

EDIT: The video card is an NVidia GTS 450. SL2 viewer, Windows 7, AMD Phenom Quad processor, 4GB RAM

 

EDIT: Disabling VBO did not work.

 

Edit: It only happens with some textures. I can't seem to edit the colors: The texture is hair, changing anything takes away the hair.

Disable VBO.  You will find the control in the Preference - Graphics tab under the Hardware button.  While the problems using VBO are usually more dramatic than you describe, one common element is that objects will appear black when they shouldn't.

See if that helps

Can you post a picture of what it looks like and tell us some more about your hardware?

[Edit]

Does it happen with all transparent textures or just some? Can you edit any of the ones it happens on, if so can you select the black face and set the color to white? If it already is white say so.

What viewer are you using and have you looked to see if it happens on other viewers?

Sometimes problems like that are viewer specific, Phoenix had one update that did some weird texture things to some people.
