System setup:
Notebook PC
VDJ 5 rev2
Hercules MK2
Freecom FHD-2 Pro 80 GB external drive, usb connection; power cable NOT necessary (DC 5V)
Problem:
Favorite folder disappears
Symptom:
When I start VDJ all my gear is connected; from the left browser, I click on Desktop > My PC > External Drive (F:) > "Music" . I set this folder as a favorite. All my MP3's are there, everything is allright. I shut down Virtual DJ. Then if I start Virtual DJ again, the favorite folder 'Music' is gone!! But other favorite folders from the C: drive are preserved.
Question: Is it possible to "force" a favorite folder to be there? Maybe through the registry?
Additional info: during installation (upgrade of Virtual DJ from 4.3 to 5 Rev2 ), the external drive was NOT connected to the computer.

Funny thing... when I upgraded to 5.0, my external drive wasn't connected either. And my favorites/virtual folders are also disappearing.
Unfortunately, the warning to upgrade/launch 5.0 while your PC was connected to your performance setup came too late for me. I'm going to uninstall 5.0 and then reinstall it with the external HD, DAC3 and Maya 44 USB all connected.

Please see page 6 of the user manual. If you have not downloaded the v5 Rev2 install, please download and use that or install overtop of your current 5.0 install. It resolves some of the database issues from the first public release of 5.0

ok but anyway I can't understand why... why is the "favorite" folder disappearing everytime I exit the program? this has to be a bug.
also: why the hell there is no option to hear the equalizer changes on the pre-listen of a track? must we re-install DJ Cel's software to enable this feature?

Bren - when you did the upgrade and launch VDJ v5 for the first time - was your external drive plugged in and powered on?
If not, make sure you are setup (external hard drives) like you would be for a gig.
Go to your external drive(s) root (e.g. F: ) and rename the VirtualDJ Local Database v5.xml -to- VirtualDJ Local Database v5.orig
Go to the My Documents->VirtualDJ folder and rename the VirtualDJ Database v5.xml -to- VirtualDJ Database v5.orig
Now, look at the other .xml file you should have a copy of your v4 file - VirtualDJ Database (username).xml
If not, stop here and post back. If so, great! Launch VirtualDJ an what should happen is that V5 will use your v4 DB XML to rebuild the V5 database files. This in turn should have all your info from v4.

YES, disabling the UAC (user acount control) in the control panel of Vista SOLVED the problem of disappearing Favorites. Thank you very much!
