Front row = laggy and crashing???
When i select "Movies" menu to access my movies i end up waiting over 2 minutes for the menu to stop thinking (spinning thing).
Front Row started fine its just seeming to get laggy and buggy recently.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Also when uninstalling programs from osx (I?m new) most of the time you just delete the program how ever how to you remove associated files (i.e. found some in library directory).
Thanks heaps

Here's to hoping leopard with frontrow 2 will take the laggy out of it.
I'm thinking we could do with some old-time engineering here.
C.
But, when Front Row first opens and you select a media category, iTunes/iPhoto, etc have to launch in the background. That takes a second or two. Once they're open, it shouldn't lag a lot at all. I just tested it on my 1.66 Mac mini 2gigs RAM and it was quick, practically instantaneous using the Apple remote and scrolling as fast as possible to whatever song I could hit.
I have a bunch of Handbraked movies, too. Same thing, except for the seven or so seconds for my external hard drive to spin up.
May sound dumb, but have you repaired permissions lately?
seriously i have to wait minutes for the damn menus (movies and artists) to open.
Is anyone else having this problem?
yeah i have repaired permissions. it seems to be doing the same thing with my music menu now too!

I had this problem on a Core Solo mini with 2 .avi files and nothing else. Took close to 3 minutes for the movies folder to load with only two movie files in the folder. I didn't have a good codec to play back .avi files at the time ... once I got one, the folder loaded much faster. Don't forget it shows little previews of the files on the right hand side, maybe it's looking for a codec or something. If you've handbraked them though, they sould all be MPEG-4 or H.264. Strange in any case.
I have adsl 512 so i dont think it is the internet speed.
How would i go about fixing a corrupt index file?
I have a feeling it might be quicker when itunes is already open i will investigate more.
