Messed up textures on "new" install...

Nvidia guy here, but new drivers not always the best at times. You may want to check out the amd driver thread http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showthread.php?t=278655
I think 12.1 has been good, but check out the thread for your specific card.
OK I reset video settings to default and it's working better - I'll fiddle around to see what was causing it.
Former player returning with new install - Verified Files after install, still getting messed-up textures on Character Select screen and ingame.
Characters are either all-black or transparent on Select screen,
NPC's are all-black in Atlas Park
and many surface textures (not buildings) are black-and-white or all pink ingame.
Just installed newest AMD Drivers for my card.
*IMPORTANT* Running in Safe Mode fixes the problem
NOTE: I took some screen shots I can post but also came across another player with the same issue:
^That pink color will flash to black or white or some-black-some-white as I move my view around.
