Please help as only half avatar appearing...

Hi,

I have been a resident in Sl since January 2006 and a builder for many years. The shape, colour and outfit of my avatar is important to me and I have never had any problems until using Viewer 2 last year when my avatar totally lost its appearance while switching between Viewer 1 and 2. So I remodelled my av and used mainly viewer 2.

Then one day my av turned black and next transparent. I was wearing my usual outfit, jeans, top, flexi hair, bracelet.

To solve the problem I followed advice given in this forum and some helped. (emptying cache, un-installing and re-installing SL, using the advanced menu -> Avatar - > Basic Female; also I unticked VBO in the advanced graphics menu.

Using the basic female i have now re-couped, my initial shape, half my skin (no torso, legs or feet) and blue eyes.

The remaining problem is that I am only half an av, and I can't change clothes, if I do it changes my av to black and then transparent.

Can anybody help, please? I would very much appreciate. Thanks

Black and invisible are both side effects of using dual displays when SL is not on the primary one.

Do you use dual monitors?

[Mizou Vavoom]

Yes, i do use two monitors. Should I use only 1 when in SL?

Its fine to use 2, you just need to make sure that you are running SL on the primary one or you will see the effects that you have been experiencing.

Thanks you soo much, I am myself again, ready to build.

I didn't realise that using two monitors would give some many problems; re-bake the textures did the trick, I can dress my av as before.

Thanks again!
