I think some of your post heading has been cut off.

If you mean slight white dots above the headings in the home menu screen, I remember reading a while ago that sometimes the fonts get corrupted. I think the solution to this is to delete the contents of your font directory (in MP, *not* windows), but I'm not certain, so I would be backing that up before deleting ;-)

I think when you delete the fonts then MP recreates them next time you start it up.

Thank you, but i can't find "fonts" under MP dir.

look in /media portal/skins/ <your chosen skin>/fonts.

Sorry I didn't elaborate, I was going from memory and wasn't too sure myself. Remember to back these up first, as I haven't tried this myself...

Again; thanks!
Did not help... deleted every "font"-folder (inn all skins).

Anybody ideas? Quite annoying bug, this....
