Installation :
1- Uninstall the previous driver version: to do so, click Start/Settings/Control Panel. Select the Add or Remove Programs icon, then uninstall Hercules DJConsole Series drivers. Alternatively, you can simply launch this package: it will uninstall the previous drivers for you.
2- Restart your PC.
3- Launch this package to install the new drivers.
4- At the end of the installation, you may be prompted to update your firmware version if you have not already updated it. Please be sure to strictly follow the on-screen instructions for this very important procedure.
5- You are now ready to use your DJ controller.


(all you had to do is to click the link, and there it is! magic?)
 
:D don't i feel stupid

I'm going on a limp here....
Do i need to dissconnect the rmx before i launch the package?
 
I would recommend you to do that.
Also take a system restore point! In that way you can roll back your system if you're not satisfied with the new driver package.

Btw, if you like the way your controller acts now, there's no reason to upgrade the driver. "Don't fix it if it ain't broke..."
 
to be totally honest i am just getting to grips with the rmx over the last few weeks but i must admit that when i first started out with the mk2 it had a more natural feel to the tempo and sound of the music and i find that things are a bit jumpy.
for instance i've had a deck drop out all of a sudden or pitchfaders that all of a sudden don't respond anymore while mixing and things like this
maybe also now it will be possible to switch between the asio and wdm settings as this wasn't possible so far as i know

So i'll try it out i think
But about this system recovery point you said
how would that work then? i never did anything like that before
 
Take a look here:

Win xp
Vista


Hope this can be usefull :)
 
thanks for the tip just installing now ;)
 
downloaded the new drivers, works for me.
 
I can't get this to work. I have been trying for sooooo long. New drivers, new laptop, new version of VDJ. Still get error in the sound driver of direct x when launching virtual. Someone please help. Here is my setup:

My PC:

Toshiba Satellite Laptop (A300D) with 3.0 Gb Ram Dual Core ~ 2.0 Ghz
dedicated 512 Mb video card
Direct X 10
Windows Vista Home Premium

The Device

Hercules DJ Console MK2
Driver: the one from this post(2008_HDJS_3)

Virtual DJ 5.2.1

Please someone help - I'm about to lose it as I have been trying to get this to work since the end of July!!
 
it just means the settings in sound set up have changed since you last used it, ie, not connected to a mixer etc.
 

@deejayxtc

Could you please try and follow this guide I did for the Wiki.

You might have done this already, but please it it a try.
 
So far so good, but only had a few minutes to test. Still have to use my workaround for 3 line mixer though;^]
 
They need to sort this error message it really pissies me off even pcdj red did not do this.

What's the error message?
 
Is anyone else unable to download the new driver or is it just me?
