Slow menu and font issue!

This morning when I turned on my vision box it was running slow and the menus/tv guides were changing very slowly as I was navigating between channels to see what was on.
I thought maybe it was my box messing up so I turned it off and left it (and my hub) switched off most of the day.  I have just turned everything back on and it still the same.
The font when browsing tv guide/on demand is clearly different and sortof thinner than usual and it doesnt look rite at all and the menus are really slow and sluggish when browsing stuff.
Has there been an update to bt vision in the last 24 hours or so or is this a known problem and can anyone tell me how to fix it because its extremely annoying?
Thank you.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I switched off my vision box for about 5 hours yesterday but when I turned it back on the problem is still the same.
When im navigating the tv guide or ondemand menus like scrolling through (Film, Tv, Replay...) it scrolls really slowly and blury and the font has changed.  The font remains the same on the menu titles at the top but its deffinately changed when browsing the Tv guide or through shows/movies.
Its a lot thinner..before yesterday all the text/show titles were like:  Doctor Who but now its all like:  Doctor Who   ...really thin and I can hardly read them.
Its been like this since Sunday/early Monday.   Are you sure there hasnt been any updates in that time? or anything that could have caused this because noones touched the settings or anything like that its just happened on its own.
I hope someone can help because its driving me nuts and straining my eyes

    Dreamweaver CS3 (9) maxed CPU slow performance and FTP

    Never mind...I found it.
    Of course I have all the firewall, worm, scanning, phishing
    filtering, full time protect, and everything else turned off when I
    am working on a remote/testing site however I found the Symantec
    antivirus email scan being enabled (doesn't it just interact with
    my email program?) was getting in the way of DW9 ftp operations,
    causing some lagging that was putting DW9 into an unstable mode
    during and immediately after (10 seconds) ftp operations.
    The CPU still spikes to 99% during ftp functions but DW9
    works even though it's likely taxed to the max but when I turn off
    email scan DW9 returned to a functioning state during ftp and
    remote file view. Whatever it takes huh?

    Thanks for the response. I managed to Google the 'nobody' account and found the explanation.
    As you say, I assumed the 'syslogd' process had to do with system logs. I did check the console and couldn't find anything of particular interest in the logs.
    I'll continue to monitor but if anyone has any further suggestions please post.
    One thing that might also have an impact... my available drive space is now down to less than 5gb (runs anywhere between 1gb and 5gb free depending on what I'm running). I know this causes problems for Parallels as it keeps moaning at me, but would it cause any problems with OSX?
    Thanks again,

  • Widget (interaction) size and font issues when published in HTML 5

    I'm using Captivate 7 and when I create and preview widget interactions (accordian, tab, etc.) the sizing and font look correct. However, when I publish it to HTML 5, it is not the right size, is left justified rather than centered, and does not have the custom font (defaults to Arial).
    Is there anything I can do to fix this? Please help!

    Adobe writes inline css for the font on that widget, in the CPM.js file. You's have to create a new class and and write your own rules using @font-face to ensure end-users can use the font. SWF files can embed fonts, but html does not.
    If the user doesn't have to font you use it will default.
    This is an example of how the Header title and instruction of the widget is written:
    <headerTitle><font face="Arial" style="Arial" size="23" align="LEFT"/>
              <textDecoration bold="true" underline="false" italic="false"/>
              <color textColor="0xffffff" highlightRequired="false" highlightColor="0xffff99" highlightState="false"/>
            </headerTitle>
    <headerInst><font face="Georgia" style="Georgia" size="14" align="LEFT"/>
              <textDecoration bold="false" underline="false" italic="true"/>
              <color textColor="0xb9dff6" highlightRequired="false" highlightColor="0xffff99" highlightState="false"/>
    </headerInst>

  • Spry Menu and IE Issue (Hover Font Size)

    I'm not able to figure out why the hover focus setting works fine with Firefox or Chrome, but I can't find a setting in the CSS to ensure the value for the font on a hover within IE remains fixed. on a hover, the font size increases slighly in IE and pushes menu out of alignment very slightly. I was able to keep the hover size fixed in Firefox and Chrome via the CSS values for the spry, but not sure why IE is doing this and if there is a setting specific to IE that would allow me to keep the hover font size fixed, but not change the values in Firefox/Chrome. Is there any way to lock in the hover value using CSS for the font so in IE it remains constant?
    http://oregonstate.edu/~labellec/CDfiles/index.html
    Page is under development, but if you open it up in IE, the menu hover causes too much movement. I'm new to CS4, so, any help appreciated.
    Thanks,

  • Slow pack and font handling

    Hi all,
    I had a problem I think I resolved, but I want to know if my idea was correct and to find another solution.
    I have developed on a Mac the GUI for a EJB application. On Mac and on Linux it's ok but on Windows XP it's sometimes very slow. I profiled it on Windows and I'd found that it was spending a lot of time in pack(). Going down further it was spending near all the pack() time into some function that is font related (don't remember the name, it's something like font2D..).
    Than I noticed that using NetBeans on Mac the default form font is "Lucida Grande" that is not present in Windows XP. Having installed the font, it seems now to work similarly on the three clients.
    Why pack() is so long if the font is missing ? What's going on ?
    How can I do a "quick substitute" of the font on the client ?
    Is there a better way to do this such as using a font that is an "alias" to a real font that is mapped at runtime by the jvm ?
    Thank you

  • Slow startup and password issue.

    Hi all...
    Happy new year...!
    As a little christmas present for myself I purchased a Crucial M4 256GB SSD for my MacPro 4,1 (2.26GHz, 22GB RAM, 10.8.2). I'm a semi-pro photographer and wanted a bit of a speed up for my processing etc etc. So yesterday I cloned my existing system drive to the SSD with Carbon Copy Cloner. I then installed the SSD in the spare superdrive bay (my other 4 bays are used).
    Just as a background my previous startup/shutdown times on this machine where quite slow averaging around 90s for startup and around 45s for shutdown. I had assumed that this was normal and was just a slow syetm HD issue. When I changed the startup disk to the new SSD and booted up the startup time did decrease but not significantly... its now exactly 59s whilst the shutdown times go down to around 30s. In use the speed of the OS is massively improved with applications and local file copying blazingly fast. I've a few friends who upgraded MacBook Pro's and others macs with SSD's and their startups are around 10-15 seconds....!!! I'm not overly bothered by the slow startups/shutdowns but I am curious as to what might be causing these delays. In testing today I deleted everything unecessary from my user account startup items, disabled various apps and checked the /library/startupitems for anything that shoudnt be there. After a couple of hours trying I cant find anything that is effecting the startups and am lost. I'll likely just accept it and move on as in use the SSD is impressive but if anyone has any ideas it'd be appreciated!
    A second thing that has happened is that whenever I try to delete/modify/move an app I am now asked to type in my user password. I have tried repairing permissions, checking the permissions of my .Trash folder etc etc but as of yet nothing has worked. Any ideas...??
    Many thanks and Happy New Year yet again.
    Richie

    The traditional way an Operating System deals with "deleted" files is to remove ONLY the Directory information and simply add the data blocks to the free pool. Those "deleted" data blocks are not cleared.
    This works in rotating drives because:
    1. The logical block size is the same or larger than the physical drive block size.
    2. Rotating magnetic media are block-for-block re-writable.
    In SSDs physical blocks are much larger "superblocks", and re-writing a portion of a superblock is a slow and difficult read-modify-write operation. In addition, since the OS did not notify the drive what data are no longer needed, deleted data continue to be carefully maintained and re-written by the drive. Soon every write operation becomes a read-modify-write, and performance deteriorates.
    In my opinion, this nearly-full condition is likley to cause drive failure. Something more than wishful thinking is required.
    Apple enables TRIM on the drives they install directly. They do not do so for third-party drives, but that is likely because those drives have not been tested by Apple.
    I have been using a very small SSD as a boot drive for a while, and periodically consolidate free space followed immediately by erasing free space with a third-party utility. I believe this has kept me out of trouble. My son has been using SSD in his laptop and doing nothing for maintenece, and he has killed two drives in a year.
    Trim Enabler utility from groths seems to be working, and makes things simple. Your mileage may vary.
    if I notice significant performance slips
    You added a much lower latency drive and startup times did not improve significantly. Much of the time required for startup is needed for memory testing. The rest is largely attributable to disk Read/Write times. What more evidence do you need?

  • Indesign CS4 - Export to SWF and font issue

    Hello,
    How do you embed a font in an Indesign CS4 document when you are going to export it to an SWF file?
    I have an Indesign CS4 document that uses a particular font.  This document is then exported to an SWF file which is then uploaded in our intranet website.  When users view the internal website, the SWF font uses a different font like Times New Romans.  I do not get this issue because I have the particular font used in that document installed on my machine.
    Are there any work arounds for this issue other than distributing the font used in that exported SWF file?

    InDesign should embedd fonts by default when exported to swf... may be you have some protected font in use? do you have problems with other fonts too? Quick and dirty workaround is convert your text to outlines... not good one but fast...

  • CS5.5 photoshop and fonts issue

    I have CS 5.5 creative master suite. I use it on my old computer window vista 32 bit  4 gig RAM no problem.
    I just upgrade my brand new computer window 7 /  64 bit 8 gig of RAM,  intel(R) core (tm) i7-4770 CPU 3.4 Ghz, suppose to be much better and faster.
    I install my CS5.5 creative master collection on my new computer, everything seem ok, except PhotoShop is very slow. I also recently install about 5 thousand fonts in my font folder.
    and then Photoshop became extremely slow, for example when I move my mouse it takes about 30 second for the arrow to move.
    any advice please help.
    I also plan to install maximum RAM to 32 but it is expensive .
    P.S. I follow the instruction to install fonts by drag and drop to font folder from control. Is this correct or there is a better way to install and manage fonts.
    I know that there are other users that have a massive fonts suite , how do they manage it with out slow down the computer? (actually only photoshop is slow down, but everything else still fast)
    AI is ok even with new added fonts .

    Welcome to the forum.
    Having 5000 fonts will slow down Ps, AI, InDesign, and probably some other programs.
    I would look into adding a "font manager." I use the Extensis Suitcase, but there are others, including the highly praised, free FontFrenzy.
    Though I have about 19,000 fonts, I seldom have more than about 350 installed on my system, at any one time.
    I have my fonts grouped by Project, Client, their styles, and a half-dozen other characteristics. When needed, I just activate the Font Set, that is needed, and deactivate it, when done.
    Good luck, and let us know if using a font manager makes life easier for you.

  • BPEL Portlets and Font issue in 10.1.4

    We have successfully register the BPEL portlet in Oracle Portal 10.1.4. However, whenever we include a BPEL portlet on a page, it seems to change all the fonts??? Removing the portlet, and the fonts are better again.
    Any ideas what might be causing this?
    BradW

    So, it looks as though the issue is with the Stylesheet used by the portlets. They use TR and TD elements etc which look as though they may override the other stylesheets inside the portal. Bad design by Oracle. Will be adding to my enhancement list...

  • FrameMaker Console Box and Font Issue

    I work in an office that uses an automated process to import XML files into FrameMaker 11. After importing, the files are formatted into FM11 documents. We are working in a Windows 7 environment.
    We recently upgraded the Zapf Dingbats font family to ITC Zapf Dingbats Std font family.
    When I import the xml file, I am receiving the following FrameMaker Console message:
    The "Zapfdingbats" Font Family is not available.
    It will be replaced by "Adobe Pi Std".
    I was advised to add the following line of code to the maker.ini file:
    [UnknownToKnownFontMap]
    Zapfdingbats, *,*= ITC Zapf Dingbats Std,*,*
    After making this change, when I import an xml file, the FrameMaker Console box is displaying the following message:
    The "Zapfdingbats" Font Family is not available.
    It will be replaced by "ITC Zapf Dingbats Std".
    What is causing the FrameMaker Console box to display and what can I do to prevent it from displaying? I am working with multiple templates, EDDs, and Rules files. This message is displaying for all of the imports that I am performing.
    Any assistance with this issue will be appreciated.

    You can turn off display of the Console window by:
    Look in the Preferences for "Show File Translation Errors" (corresponding
    to the ShowErrors setting in the maker.ini file). According to the
    online manuals:
    ShowErrors determines if error messages are displayed in the console
      window when they occur

  • Slow speedes and connection issues within home net...

    Hi.
    I have the black home hub and the white modem... So it's not the latest equipmet. I have to restart the router a couple of times a day due to the following problems......
    Slow connection to the Internet and unable to play video etc.
    Also I'm unable to locate my Apple TV for AirPlay as well as locate my chromecast.
    I've not done any real testing apart check the wifi channels in this area and the channel I use seems the be the best option.
    I'm assuming there is a problem with the BT hub, as when I reset it my iPads find the Apple TV when the BT hub has been restarted. My chromecast then also works a bit better and general web browsing may work a little better for a while.
    It looks like my BT Hub is slowing my LAN down as connection is not being made to the Chromecase or the Apple TV is not found.
    What do I need to do now? Can I have one of the new BT Hubs please?
    Thanks,
    Ian.

    Hi Ian_watson
    Thanks for posting, that does sound like a wireless problem as restarting the hub refreshes the wireless channel but this is not recommended as the restarts may cause DLM to think there is a fault on your connection and slow it down.
    Have you tried manually changing the channel and switching off smart set up in the hub manager to see if this helps?
    Alternatively if you need to refresh the wireless channel try these steps instead of restarting the hub.
    Enter http://bthomehub.home in your web browser
    If this is the first time you have visited the Hub Manager you'll be asked to change the password.
    Click on Settings and enter your password if required.
    Click on Wireless.
    In the Wireless Channel section click on Refresh.
    The Hub will check the wireless channels and after about a minute will have chosen the best one.
    Thanks

  • Acrobat and font issues

    I believe acrobat has a limit in number of system fonts. I have to close Extensis (reducing the number of system fonts)  in order to make pdfs wiith my non-Adobe applications. This is a pain since I usually have to close all adobe applications to produce a pdf in applications like Word, etc. Does anyone know of a better work around.

    I normally get a message that amounts to file not created because font not found message. I am not getting that message today, but I recently increased the size of my virtual memory. Apps like Word and Quicken were at least creating the file, but using the wrong fonts. I then unchecked the rely on system fonts switch and it seems to be working for now.
    I read somewhere that Acrobat could only handle about 300 active system fonts so I assumed that was the problem...especially since the applications could produce pdfs when Extensis was closed, thus removing the fonts it manages. I guess I could have put some of the system fonts under Extensis' control, but I was afraid that I might remove vital fonts that some application needed and cause all kinds of problems like not being able to read anything when an application opened up or something crazy like that.
    Anyway, problem solved for now. Thanks.

  • Intro and Font Issue w/ Word 2003

    Hey everyone, I'm new to the board here and looks like
    there's quite a bit of good info here.
    If this has been covered already somewhere, I'd like to check
    out the thread.
    The machine I'm working with is set up with Windows 2000,
    Office 2003 (with the Word 2003 fix), updated to RoboHelp X5.0.1.
    I'm generating Win2000 help that just insists on using Times
    New Roman font in the resulting help file no matter what I do.
    Every font I change in the style in Word keeps on invading my help
    file as Times. I've messed around with the templates to no avail.
    I've copied the Robohelp.dot template into another directory
    and changed it, and that did nothing. I've also changed Normal.dot
    to see if that does anything, and am still coming up with Times New
    Roman in my help file.
    "Automatically Update Styles" is not checked underneath the
    document template file selection field, so my style changes appear
    to be sticking with the Word document when I close and re-open it.
    Any suggestions? Thanks!
