Hello everyone, I'm new, and unfortunately, not terribly tech savvy, so please bear with me if I ask a silly question. Yesterday (day 35) I was at the Brazen Head when I realised that my avi was looking a bit grey. I didn't take too much notice of it as I presumed it was the light settings of the location. However, it wasn't until I was in more regular haunts, that I realised it wasn't the light setting, it was my avi that didn't look right. I have suddenly lost the use of (even while wearing) my lovely skin colour which was quite pale. Now it's grey and patchy and I look like a dead person. It's the whole avi, from head to toe on the skin. Also, I've lost the use of my face lamps and instead of wearing blusher ;-), I'm wearing dead avi grey. The other thing I seem to have lost the use of (again, all while wearing/adding all the above) is my physics - and that HURTS!. ;-) I also notice that certain items are not rezzing anymore. Mainly parts of buildings, etc, but these normally rezz fine so I don't understand. I've checked the health of the avarar and that seems fine. I've brought draw length back to 64 with graphics on low (I think they were on low anyway). I've logged out and in again. I've even gone so far as to reset the router in case that's the problem, left it unplugged for more than five minutes, but to no avail. I've looked at previous threads but nothing really applies. I've seen ppl mention about toggling off HTTP Textures. I would try that if I knew how to do it he he. Also derendering.... I'm a bit frightened of that one and again - don't know how to do it. If anyone can help (talk to me like I'm stupid) I'd be really very grateful. Many thanks in advance. Cait
