| | Posted: | | | | Hey guys, I've got a bit of a problem! When I open up a pop-up window (such as Add DVD or Add Retailer) the buttons to click on are blank and it becomes a guessing game to work out which buttons do which function. It is not all buttons, either. Just some of them. I've included a picture to show you what's going on.  Any ideas? This is a little bit frustrating. Thanks in advance! -jesspo0ky | | | | Last edited: by jesspo0ky |

| | Posted: | | | | It may be a problem if you don't have the correct fonts installed in windows. I think the tahoma.ttf is the one you need. | | | | Paul |

| | Posted: | | | | The Tahoma.ttf font is installed and I have all the original fonts and no windows add-on programs. Any other ideas?
Thanks for responding so fast! |

| | Posted: | | | | If Tahoma really is installed (not just present in the fonts folder) try to reload a default layout of DVDProfiler. Please come up again if that helped. | | | It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!
But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid?

| | Posted: | | | | I tried loading all the different layouts that come standard with DVDProfiler and didn't have any success. Any other ideas?
Cheers! |

| | Posted: | | | | I had the same problem when running DVD Profiler on a Japanese Windows XP OS (blank buttons and also plenty of database errors with accented characters).
Perhaps you are running an OS that isn't among the OS's that can run DVD Profiler? | | | Blu-ray collection

| | Posted: | | | | I'm running Windows XP Professional.. in English and I assume Australian (or at the very least, UK English) I have a friend who has the same version of windows and she doesn't have this problem. It all seems very strange. | | | | Last edited: by jesspo0ky |

| | Posted: | | | | You could try re-loading the Tahoma font; I believe that's helped a few people where the original has got corrupted somoehow. | | | | It is dangerous to be right in matters where established men are wrong |

Switch between themes in DVD Profiler and look if one of them produces better results. To do so, on DVD Profiler's main menu, click View, point to Theme, then select one from the menu. | | | | Matthias |

| | Posted: | | | | Thanks for the suggestion! I tried doing that and every single one had the same problems. I'd like to try this reload of the tahoma font but I'm not sure how to do that. Do you know how that's done?
Cheers,

| | Posted: | | | | What I would do if I wanted to uninstall and then reinstall a font is that I would first find a place I could download the font files from. Once I had found that I could get the font files from somewhere, then I would go about uninstalling.
On my computer the font folder is at C:\\WINDOWS\Fonts. I would open the folder and delete the files that I believed might be corrupted - in your case Tahoma (True Type) & Tahoma Bold (True Type) - likely tahoma.TTF and tahomabd.TTF. Then I would go to where I found I could download them from and download them to the desktop. They may be in zipped files or just the individual TTF files. If they are zipped, unzip them and put the TTF files on the desktop.
Anyway, once you have your new TTF files you simply drag them off the desktop and drop them in the open folder (for me C:\\WINDOWS\Fonts). Voila! you have installed new fonts.
Hope this helps! | | | If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world.

| | Posted: | | | | I tried doing this method, but when I press delete on the Tahoma font, the computer hangs for a moment and some fonts change appearance and then it says the file cannot be deleted.
Any other ideas?
Cheers |

| | Posted: | | | | That solution doesn't seem to work for me, either  I went into safe mode and deleted both tahoma and tahomabd and installed them with a fresh download of the files from the microsoft website, rebooted the computer, and still no luck  Do you know of any other methods I can try? Thanks again, -jesspo0ky | | | | Last edited: by jesspo0ky |
