This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

I've been having this problem now where virtual dj just locks up and crashes. when i try to scroll down to look for songs it locks up and the song title and some pictures (the liitle cd icon next to each song) become jumbled up..
i dont know what this is, so i reinstalled windows and still the same. :(
can anyone help me on this.

my PC specs are:
P4 2.4ghz
512 ram
etc etc..lots of hard disk space, windows xp pro.

pls help

You have a P4 HyperThreading I presume (2.4"C").
If I'm right, you can try to execute VDJ in compatibility mode for Win98. If this doesn't work better, try to disable the HT in the Bios.
Good Mix :)

Sweeeet!!
That did it.
thanks heaps.

ps you guys gotta get that "magic" beat lock thing working and all them other fancy 'automixing' tools (dont really work, or not fast enough), cos i think its faster doing a mix by ear....hehe

You're welcome :)

PS: You don't have to use all VDJ features but only these you want/need :)

pauljwestran, what brand/type mainboard do you have?
i need to know more details.

p.s:most of the bioses can be accessed by pressing DEL while your system is booting.

Hi, How do you configure vdj for 98 compatability mode?

Right click on the icon of VDJ--> property --> compatibility --> in mode of compatibility: check win98

This problem should be gone with v1.08, and for anyone who disabled hyperthreading, i recommend to enable it and see how much faster VDJ will work (try to analyse song while playing for example)..

androidi, enabling HT 'MAY' cause audio-hickups/dropouts.
same goes for 'speedstep'.

om my intel machines i had to disable both of the features to gain clear uninterupted sound.

loading time is irrelevant since you can directly start mixing while your song is being loaded/decoded.

when i have to play a set, first i disable both features and re-enable them again after i'm finnished ;)

Austin1, tell us what you have already tried. i assume you have tried to disable Hyperthreading and Speedstep in your BIOS?
