The following advice was writen for users of the Firestorm viewer, but it applies to any of the others:

If this occurs, chance are good that the inventory cache is corrupt. Deleting it should solve the problem.

• Locate your cache folder. You will probably need to do this manually, if you are unable to log in. Use a file manager (like Windows Explorer for Windows system, Dolphin, or some such) to locate the cache folder. In its default location, the cache folder is hidden on most OSs. To find it, you will need to show hidden folders. Default cache locations [for Firestorm.  Paths to the cache file for other viewers are similar] are:
  • Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\[uSERNAME]\Local Settings\Application Data\Firestorm\Cache
  • Windows Vista: C:\Users\[uSERNAME]\AppData\Local\Firestorm\Cache
  • Windows 7: C:\Users\[uSERNAME]\AppData\Local\Firestorm\Cache
  • Mac: ~/Library/Caches/Firestorm
  • linux: ~/.firestorm/cache
• In this folder, locate the files named data.db2.x.* and index.db2.x.* (where * is a digit: 0, 1, 2, etc; you may have more than one of each type of file)
• Delete all files that match these two names.
• Log back into SL, to a quiet region (try the Phoenix Support parcel or a Linden water region such as aich or hatton). Allow your inventory to repopulate fully.

If the above fails, then try doing a full wipe of all settings.
