Clear all you caches files manually. Delete all your viewers, then download a fresh version of either V2 or a TPV such as Firestorm wich is V2 code based but runs perfectly (there is also a new Firestorm mesh enabled available).

Reports abound on the bugginess of viewer 3. You may want to go back to an older version of the official viewer. If you need to see mesh but don't need to upload it, you could also use the new Firestorm mesh beta which works better -- at least for some folks.

There may have been some improvements in the project development viewer.  http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Linden_Lab_Official:Alternate_Viewers

Whenever you install a new version of an existing viewer, do not install it on top of the previous version.  Remove the previous version entirely.  That involves deleting the folder that contains the exe file (probably in the /Programs subdirectory on your root drive) and the support data files in C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data  and C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings\Application Data .  If you forget to remove those support data files, you will inherit all of the user settings from the previous installation, including any that may be buggy or inappropriate for the new installation.   A "clean reinstallation" will help avoid many of the problems that people are having with the new viewers.
