Topic: When I lock my my computer I return to Blank Grey Screen

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

First about my laptop/setup;

VDJ 8Pro
HP-DV7
Windows 7 Home Premium 64Bit
16Gig Mem
Intel i7 2.6GHz
G Force GT 4gb
100gig Free on HD
Connected to and American Audio MXR19 via USB 3.0


Now the problem - I load up a playlist, or an auto mix, I get everything playing. I press the Windows Start button and the "L" key at the same time, this locks the screen and prompts for password, the music is still playing. When I get back the unlock the computer, my VDJ Screen is Blank and Grey, music still playing, keyboard keys still work to loop, play, pause. and MXR is still responsive. But can't see anything on the screen. Computer is not locked up as I can open a other programs and see them just fine. Only VDJ Screen is grey.

Only way to fix is to, shut down computer and MXR and reboot.

And know issue here or a fix?

Thanks!

It's a known issue oddly I can't recreate it, it maybe one of those things that needs time to go wrong,
i have an idea that might fix it, but then it may not,
try adding this script to a keyboard button that you should press once it 'greys out'

load_skin

I will give it a shot and report back when/if it happens again. Thanks!

Hi guys yes i had the same problem and the skin_load does work but only to an extent of allowing u to see what is playing after you have loaded it it doesnt continue to move or operate as it shud?

Hello! I'm experiencing the same problem and re-loading the skin manually is obviously not a solution as F1ufy described. Any solution out there, yet? Thx

double click mouse anywhere on the screen. It fixes it.

My VirtualDJ crashes everytime after ctrl+L. Very frustrating.
