My avi is showing as just a white dot and wont rez I tried to uninstall and reinstall Second Life with no change, what should i do to correct this? I just discovered Its SL today everyone is having issues...:(

I have figured out mostly everything in here but still cant understand why the items i have bought are in boxes, how do you wear the item and get rid od the box or bag?? Thanks, DamanIsMyName
