it's called runVDJ.exe and should be in your C:\\Program Files\\VirtualDJ folder.
Any how, fixing your Database XML file is not going to correct video issues.

Windows Media Center Edition (in the usuall Microsoft spirit) has a process that can block or interfere with other programs trying to use video out...

some say this is made intentinal by Microsoft, to prevent other "media center" programs to run, and wouldn't suprice me if it was true..

Starting with Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition (MCE) , a process (ehrec.exe) runs at all times, monopolizing the tuner device on the system. This will prevent any program other than MCE, from using the tuner device...

This process MIGHT also on some graphic cards, prevent video from being played, in other apps.

Try kill that process..

See if it helps ;)

Will hopefully free the video driver if the problem occurs again
