Avatar looks like a white oval

[Harb40]

Not sure what I did but it happens when I use the Second Life Viewer 2 or if I use Firestorm viewer.  My avatar shows up as a white oval and I cannot make it show my avatar.  Therefore, I cannot make any changes to my avatar since I can't see it.  Any suggestions?

I have updated all graphics drivers today and that didn't help.

try two things:

1. I don't show up as an Oval, but a puffball of light. Sometimes Rebake (ctrl-alt-R) will make me appear.

 

2. Failing the rebake idea, some viewers allow what's called a 'character test'. If you click on that, depending on if you're male or female, it will load a default version of an avi, then you change back to yourself. It's important to know your shape and skin and everything to get yourself back to yourself, though. I don't know if Viewer 2 allows it, but the Emerald-bsed viewers like Phoenix and Emergence has a specific button for character tests, so you may need to temporarily download another viewer if you have Viewer 2 to achieve this step.

A friend helped me out.  I had to go to the advanced menu/debug and look for RenderUnloadedAvatar and set it to true.  Got my avatar back.
