This is just an extension of the wrong codepage.

Chatter in the forum suggests that people that use special characters in the directory names have sound. Change the directory to just have 'ASCII' characters and all works. As I stated, rendering a symbol that the program or OS does not understand can cause the system to behave incorrectly.

I had a similar issue with using the degree symbol (as for Degrees Celcius) in a spreadsheet. The whole application went mad with the image being rendered all over the place and sound coming from the speakers. Removing the symbol got ride of the problem.

If the file does not render then the directory name may be the issue. If only the attribute data causes a problem it is most likely the data in that table.

Does that describe the noise problems you are getting Lene?

Hi Lene,

There are two options...
1) you have a corrupt file (disk damaged; do sector check) or
2) your attribute data is in the wrong code page (this might sound like bells 
and beeps because some characters get rendered as control characters that 
trigger system bell).

Both would result in the computer slowing down.

What OS are you using? What type of file and what language is the data in? Does 
the geographic data get rendered OK? Any idea where the file came from and 
whether it is is UTF8, UTF16, CP1252, .......

Hi,

When opening an attribute table the program starts to make a noise and
works very slow.

Any idea what´s happening.
