You have an AMD/ATI graphics card in your computer and your graphics drivers are not appropriate for SL.  Second Life uses OpenGL graphics, while AMD/ATI cards are designed for DirectX applications.  They don't get along nicely under the best of situations.

If you are using a fitted mesh capable version of Firestorm (4.6.1. or later) or a recent version of the SL viewer and using ATI/AMD graphics and drivers, certain non-rigged mesh items may display as a long stretch which points to the region coordinates 0,0,0. If you observe such long spikes, then try:

• go to Preferences - Graphics - General subtab - disable Hardware Skinning. This may result in a loss of FPS. Turn on the Statistics Panel using Ctrl Shift 1, disable Hardware Skinning and monitor your FPS. As this bug affects some non-rigged mesh items, and not all, you may determine that disabling Hardware Skinning is not worth the loss of FPS.
• Update to Catalyst Drivers Version 14.4. if they are available for your graphics card. We've had reports these drivers fix the bug. Visit this page for downloads.

In addition to Rolig's advice, the latest Radeon drivers are said to fix this problem.

I download the new drivers and entering SL I see nothing mesh. No Mesh object which is what I can see, is invisible altogether. I broke my Lap

What sort of a laptop do you have? And did you try disabling Hardware Skinning, as recommended?
