Windows 7/BV problems

Re: Windows 7/BV problems

Since changing to 100% I have no problems and no more piling text up on the bottom of the pages. Everything goes in the right place first time. Nada, Nothing everything works great. Sometimes the text is too small so I just use ctrl + as many times as I need and hey presto, text big enough to read without my glasses....a huge bonus

Re: Windows 7/BV problems

In answer to your first question you need to associate a file extension with a program.
1. find a bluevoda.bvp file and right click
2. select "Properties" tab at bottom
3. click the "Change" button and Browse for BlueVoda in Program files.
Click "apply" then "ok" and you're done.

I wouldn't advise this with the extension.html though.

As for your second question with Windows 7, changing the default system font size from 100% is not a good practice.
Some programs will display errant behaviour and it can appear the the text is missing from buttons etc. Sometimes you can even lose the ability to select buttons.
This won't answer your BlueVoda text issues but I hope it heads off any unwanted consequences with other Windows operations

Re: Windows 7/BV problems

Once I upgraded to the new BlueVoda site builder I had no problems at all.

The Catalyst that you speak of (on my computer) is the driver/software for my video card. My video card is Radeon HD 4890 and I am running dual monitors. I havent had exactly the same problem as you however BEFORE I upgraded to Win 7, and my new video card, when I would preview my page items would appear in a different spot on my preview screen then they would on my BlueVoda site builder. However all seems to be working well now.

I hope you get it worked out well if you havent already!

Re: Windows 7/BV problems

i did before i tried those setting changes, muck around with something called catalyst control system, i dont know what it is or if it did anything aswell, but what ever it was did not have my correct screen size in place and i corrected its set size. I dont think it was anything though, but hey i dont know much.

hope you get it fixed up too.

Thank you

Re: Windows 7/BV problems

Acejase, I was at 100% at first and then my spacing on BV pages was all over the place. Then when I moved it to 150% the spacing showed okay. That lasted for a while and then one day it was off. Then I went back to 100% and all was well. And during this time I had uninstalled and reinstalled BV numerous times. Now all is well except the X & Y coordinates and size block in the lower right of BV. I'm at 100% (I believe that's the smallest setting) but I only have space for 6 digits total. It's like either the text is too large or the box is too small. I've contacted Support for their help.

Here's images of my BV pages:

There's probably some simple thing I've done, but I can't figure it out.

Re: Windows 7/BV problems

hey jcay, i have communicating with support, and actually fixed it myself before they could help. Wasnt bv or server for me, dont even know if it was W7.

if you are experiencing exzctly my problem, here is what i did. and all my pages corrected them selves.

open control panel
-appearance and personalisation
-adjust screen resolutiion
then click one that says"make text and other items larger or smaller
then adjusted to 100%
apply and restart

I have never been into this setting b4, so can only guess some program or update did it.

really hope this helps you cause i totally understand your pain

Re: Windows 7/BV problems

I haven't seen an answer to this Windows 7 problem anywhere. I just kept uninstalling and reinstalling and one day most of it went away. I still have the x;y problem but the placement issue solved itself. And apparently it's only affecting a few people with Windows 7.

Re: Windows 7/BV problems

well i hope something comes of these post as i am not to into it, i dont have the patience to adjust everything mm by mm and check preview after every adjustment, i am feeling a little disillussioned with my purchase atm.

Re: Windows 7/BV problems

I don't know. I thought at the start it was something I may have done and posted about it but since then I have written other pages from scratch following the suggestions people made about the gapping problem and I still get a huge gap. I've just accepted that is how it is for now and just pile it all up and keep looking in preview to adjust it into the right place.
I think it is something to do with the text size transfer between BV and then the web but that is just a guess as I know nothing really technical

Re: Windows 7/BV problems

thanks for reply, do you experience that gap too? i almost think it is caused by my textbox just above the gap. I sort of think it is when the text box is publishing it is shrinking the text, but increasing the text box and pushing everything added after it to the end of its random end spot.

could i have done something silly to make this happen? i did delete all my pgaes and started index alover again, could i have deleted something i shouldnt have? pretty sure i didnt though.

Re: Windows 7/BV problems

As far as I am aware there is not a solution.....I have everything crossed there will be soon though as it is soooo frustrating. Interestingly when I used the form wizard everything seemed to be easier to place.
You will get used to looking at everything being piled up: it may even become a skill LOL

Good luck

Re: Windows 7/BV problems

hi, was the ever an answer to this thread, as i think this has just statered happening to me too, seemed alright b4? but now the text seems to be bigger in bv, than what it publishes. also there seems to be this gap on the near the bottom of my page, that pushes everything about 200 down leaving this blank spot?

"Now if I could just figure out an answer to this problem..."
I would probably be your new best friend))
I am having to adjust each page individually as the layout is different on every page. I even tried doing PHP as i thought that might help but it seems to make no difference. Maybe i should try an uninstall.install x 10 !
I don't know why the link won't open...sorry about that.
At least I don't feel such a div now I know its not me doing something wrong

Re: Windows 7/BV problems

I couldn't open your link - but I probably saw the same thing on my pages. An image would have to be moved all over the page - over text, whatever, to publish in the right place.

I was having to remotely connect to my old XP machine to do anything with BV. The layout was way off on Windows7 machine. I tried everything to no avail. And about the 10th time I uninstalled/reinstalled BV the layout works. Now if I could just figure out an answer to this problem...
