Curious problem of the letter 'p' has returned months later

confident that a headache from five months ago was long resolved, my macbook pro has suddenly come back to haunt me in the past 24 hours.
the identical symptoms have curiously reappeared, in the following chronological order of discovery:
1. i am unable type the letter 'p" in any application, from an online google search to an MS word doc.
2. i put the laptop on sleep mode, only to have the screen return seconds later.
3. upon restart, my login window is mysteriously populated before my very eyes -- as if someone were remotely typing in my password.
the original thread is linked below. in short, the original problem stemmed from the installation of avast! anti-virus software. once it was uninstalled, the symptoms described above went away, and all was well in my world.
MacBook Pro has been hacked. What next?
since then, i have not downloaded any new third-party software applications. the only thing i can think of is my recent difficulties in downloading the most recent version of firefox 32.0.3. the hardware problems reappeared shortly thereafter. if firefox might be the culprit, i'm happy to elaborate on the issues i was having.
thanks in advance for any and all help.
system specs:
MacBookPro9,2
Intel Core i7
2.9 GHz
8 GB memory

please disregard my last post; i've resolved the issue.
erase and install has been completed. i have also updated the mavericks software and restarted. all symptoms described in my initial post remain.
i presume this means an appointment at the genius bar. if so, however, one question remains with me: if it is indeed a hardware issue, why did these symptoms go away for 5 months upon the removal of avast! last may?
in other words, is it not logical to think that if it were a hardware issue, the symptoms would be ever-present and unaffected by the removal of an application?

(2001)". it has been like this for the past 3 days. I already did the hard reboot many times, re-send service book though i do'nt think it's needed, and tried uninstalling and reinstalling the facebook application too but still getting the same error everytime i try to post a status update. I can comment to messages on my wall and other profiles, the news feed is updating in time too, i can also log-in and out to facebook with no problem, as well as other applications on my phone like foursquare, BBm, ubersocial, BB protect, BB app world, etc, are all working perfectly fine. And now I don't know what seems to be the problem.
I've already contacted my network provider and told me that the error i'm getting is beyond their scope.
Is anybody having the same problem as mine?
Can someone in BB support team help me regarding this issue and tell me what should I do?
Thank you in advance.

I've remarked one thing... On my facebook under "privacy setting/the Apps, Games and Websites" I used to have a "blackberry app" installed. It's not there anymore and I didn't remove it.
I don't know how to reinstall it...

A problem with the cooling system has been detected

I bought a new computer not to long ago, I've had it for almost a month now. It runs fine, and I've had no problems until not too long ago. I was playing a game, and I got a random error message: "A problem with the cooling system has been detected. Please turn off the computer immdiately, and return it for service." I don't understand how or why this came up, and I don't have any money to return it for any type of repairs. After I got this message, I left my computer off for about an hour. All seems well so far. Any suggestions?

What laptop do you have?

Satellite P500-12D - A problem with the cooling system has been detected

hi there everyone,
I have bought a Satellite P500-12D which was a retail return. When I start it up it runs a couple of mins and then this comes up on the screen:
Warning: A problem with the cooling system has been detected. please turn off the computer immediately and return it for service.
In the toshiba health monitor the cpu is under 50% temp and if it goes much above that the cooling fan comes on and lowers it back down and the fan stops again, I have noticed that only the r/h fan runs to cool the cpu, should both them come on together? Could it be a software problem?
Tthe unit is new without even the plastic off the screen surround or webcam. Any help or even point me in the right direction would be very appreciated, gary

The fact that the pc is a retail return would indicate that there was a fault at day one and the customer returned it. At some point the retailer turned it on and since it appeared to work re-sold it.
This is the cooling/fan report from a P500 produced by pc wizard 2010 - free from cpuid.com. Perhaps a comparison against the faulty laptop will point to the problem

Seems to be a common enough problem. I've deleted the partial failed backup from iCloud, restoring all 5Gb of storage. Then started a manual backup. After about 20 minutes I get the same error message. I have repeated this several times. According to my iTunes on my laptop I managed one backup to iCloud from there but it is pointless if u can neither backup to or restore from iCloud via my iPhone 4. I had hoped ios 5.0.1 would solve this glitch but ....
So much for "it just works".
I have yet to see any suggested fix that works for me. Any other suggestions?

Problem with the Letter I

Sometimes when I view vector art on the screen the letter I shows up
extra wide and big, but the printed version works fine. Example below. This only happens some of the time to me, but not always with the same piece of artwork. I think this must be a common problem; does anyone know a solution?
Thanks,
Jeff

The text is outlines. I don't have access to the original typeface. It only seems to happen when I export; on the illustrator screen everything looks fine but in the exported pdf it has this severe problem. I noticed it also affects lower case L's in the pdf of the university's wordmark standards guide (at least when viewed on my system), which contains various examples of the logo. http://www.uic.edu/depts/paff/identity/PDF/standards.pdf
I understand what you mean about alignment to whole pixels. But certainly many things are not aligned to the next whole pixel, but doesn't it usually it get anti-aliased rather than filled in 100% of the next pixel?
Thanks,

SAP CRM middleware problem (sysfail ) The current application has triggered a termination with short dump

i'm having a proplem during starting initial load although i'm using the best practice documents C71 and B09 and all the configration was done by them .... could any one help ??

this is the first dump error for my RFCUSER on the ECC server
Category               ABAP Programming Error
Runtime Errors         MESSAGE_TYPE_X
ABAP Program           SAPLCRMC
Application Component CA
Date and Time          05.03.2014 17:50:47
Short Text
     The current application has triggered a termination with a short dump.
What happened?
     The current application program has detected a situation that should
     not occur. A termination with short dump has therefore been triggered
     by the key word MESSAGE (type X).
What can you do?
     Note down which actions and inputs caused the error.
     To process the problem further, contact you SAP system
     administrator.
     Using Transaction ST22 for ABAP Dump Analysis, you can look
     at and manage termination messages, and you can also
Error analysis
    Short text of the error message:
    See SAP Note 1498111
    Long text of the error message:
     Diagnosis
     System Response
     Procedure
         Refer to the SAP Note that was mentioned.
     Procedure for System Administration
    Technical information about the message:

    Number.............. 330
    Variable 1.......... 1498111
    Variable 2..........
    Variable 3..........
    Variable 4.......... " "
How to correct the error
    Probably the only way to eliminate the error is to correct the program.
    If the error occurs in a non-modfied SAP program, you might be able to
    find a solution in the SAP Notes system. If you have access to the SAP
    Notes system, check there first using the following keywords:
    "MESSAGE_TYPE_X"
    "SAPLCRMC" bzw. LCRMCF0C
    "CHECK_CRMATAB"
    If you cannot solve the problem yourself, please send the following
    information to SAP:
    1. This description of the problem (short dump)
    To do this, choose System -> List -> Save -> Local File (unconverted)
    on the screen you are in now.
    2. A suitable system log
    To do this, call the system log in transaction SM21. Restrict the time
    interval to ten minutes before the short dump and five minutes after
    it. In the display, choose System -> List -> Save -> Local File
    (unconverted).
3. If these are programs of your own, or modified SAP programs: Source
code of these programs
To do this, choose More Utilities -> Upload/Download -> Download in
the Editor.
4. Details regarding the conditions under which the error occurred or
which actions and input caused the error.
thanks

Curious problem in the WebUI in regards to buffering...

The client of the CRM 7 system we recently installed has a unique situation whereby Account/Contacts have a one-to-one relationship. That is a contact will only ever be the contact for one Account.
The client maintains (creates) Contact details from within the Accounts screen via the Quick contact create option. When the edit this Contact details via the Account screen they see the Account/Contact details in the left pane of the screen and Contact details in the right. The information on the right pane is therefore never actually maintained.
The client wants whatever data is entered in the telephone and email fields to be copied from left pane to rigtht pane, but, this can not be achieved via code within the component view as when they Create a new contact via the Quick Create feature they may never go into the contact edit/maintenance screen and therefore any code placed there would not be executed.
As a result I have a background program that periodically scans table BUT050 and based on the last update date/time determines which contacts have been created or amended. It then does the equivalent of copying data from the left pane to the right pane by copy data from Acccount/Contact to the Contact.
This works fine and faultlessly, with the job running every minute and normally taking less than a second to complete. The problem is that when the user stays in the Account and the contacts data is updated, this is not shown when they next enter the contact. The only way around this situation is to view another Account and then go back to the Account and display the Contact details, where upon the new data is displayed.
Is there way of forcing the component view to refresh the buffer and read the latest data?.
Jason

Hi Jason,
this is true.
To avoid this problem,you can try to to the re_read entity bypassing buffers,in the do prepare output under some condition ,whn you know that the contacts coudl be refreshed..This ensures that the data is directly read from the database bufferes and object buffers are by passed.
the other way is that,when the contects are uploaded extrenally,you also trigger an update on the object buffers as well.
