Sounds like a memory error ...... is your computer slower at booting up at all?

If a song takes a long time to load, then this may be due to performance issues. Common causes are:
* You are using a computer that does not meet the recommended system requirements listed at the bottom of the page: http://www.virtualdj.com/products/virtualdj/index.html - Loading on old computers or on 'NetBook' computers will be very slow due to the low performance of these systems.
* You are using an external hard drive that may have gone to sleep. This will cause a delay when you go to load a song from it, which can be anything from a few seconds to almost half a minute on some badly designed drives. If your external drive takes more than a few seconds to wake from sleep, you should replace it with a better quality and faster drive.
* You are using a slow hard drive, or slow USB connection (Some much older computers may have USB 1.x ports instead of 2.0) If you are loading videos, these are very large files (Typically 10x the size of a normal MP3 audio file), so they will naturally take much longer to load. A 7200 RPM or faster drive is recommended for videos.
* You are playing videos and have the 48Khz resampling option under CONFIG > Performances set to quality rather than fast (This is only applicable to the latest versions of the software.)
* The SpeedLoad setting, which can be toggled on/off via the Registry Tool http://www.virtualdj.com/addons/2170/Registry_Tool.html - This option is designed to slow down loading on older slower computers to prevent sound break-up that could occur due to the processor being too busy with loading/analysing the song. Sometimes this can be triggered on more high-end computers, resulting in unnecessary slow loading.
* You are loading a song that is longer than your MaxLoad setting which can be found in CONFIG -> Performances. Songs that are longer than this setting will be streamed direct from disk, which may cause you problems if your disk is not fast enough to be able to keep up.
* Viruses, spyware or malware may be present on your computer. Please run ensure that your anti-virus software is fully up-to-date and run a full scan of all your disks.
* Other software/processes running in the background are slowing your computer down. Please see common PC performance issues on the following page: http://www.virtualdj.com/wiki/Controller%20Configuration%20And%20Troubleshooting.html
NOTE: We would always strongly recommend running the latest version of the software. There have been many bug fixes and improvements since v4.3 - Please see http://www.virtualdj.com/wiki/VirtualDJ_History.html - It's a free upgrade for you because you are a Pro user.
