[Qgis-user] QGIS 2.4 open att.table makes "noise" and works slow

[Simon Cropper]

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.
