Is RenderGlow set to TRUE in your Debug Settings?

I also met with the same issue.
RenderGlow is set to TRUE in Debug Settings.

I have seen the same behaviour in RC2 and RC3. RenderGlow is set to TRUE (as per default), though no combination of glow parameters or whether or not amospheric rendering is on.

Glow works as predicted with 1.19.1.4 (both the old RC and the new standard).

Details as follows (and no jokes about trying to run SL on this level of hardware – it is surprisingly usable at low settings)

Glow also not working for me. Render Glow is set to True. Additionally, Linden water is black (separate issue, reported).

Fix for ~~VWR-6674~~ should also fix this one!

Same problem but on all versions of the software. (RC and otherwise)
Dispite having glow options turned on, I am not seeing any glow effects.

I am running the most up to date driver for my video card, as provided by my laptop provider; since ATI does not provide drivers for the mobility series on their website.

Issue still remains even after 1.20 went live.
Post process set to high.
