Subject:Megabyte left unreadable. Posted by: MyST Date:6/25/2003 9:09:29 PM OK, so maybe it's because it's 30deg Celcius, the humidity is unbearable, and the fact that I'm running an Athlon, but... The "Megabytes left/usable" at the bottom right corner is screwed up when I'm playing back a song. It comes back 1 out every 2 times I restart SF, but when it doesn't, it reads like unknown characters followed by MB. Again, it might be the heat. Bringing up my Mia Console during playback caused a hard freeze. I needed to reboot the PC. Anybody else have these wierd characters instead of numbers in that section? M

Apparently when resources get low, the Windows font rendering engine doesn't have enough room to work in and just sorta ... well ... punts. I never did find a cause or solution to the Vegas buttons problem, but after i did an OS upgrade and reinstalled everything the buttons were fine.
