I've been realitively lucky with the new version. It downloaded smoothly, installed a patch smoothly, and looked good from moment uno. I did, however have two problems. The first was 'really' heavy posing and chatter. The second was a horrible metallic smile right of out of castle dracula. Customer service offered soothing bromides about 'help on the way'. My friend Ilene_Dover provided the solution. She said [and I did] copy your 'info file' from the old world, line by line, onto the new 'avatar' tab. Problem solved. My babe now looks fabulous in both worlds. She is also back to her placid self. 3d graphics card to follow.

Thank you Ilene [not for the first time!]
