Forum: PC Version Technical Support - Topic: vdj 5.1 freezed again

Program freezed again apparently with no reason : deck A plays a song, i scroll the list of songs and it crash.
It seems like it can find the song into ram anymore...both my crashes happened within the first minute of song, can't be more precise.

could only use taskmanager to close the program.

configuration is perfect : macbook with clean xp sp3;
nothing installed : no skin, no effect, nothing but vdj factory default;
controllers midi : 2 xp10;

Previous version were more reliable but i appreciate the new fame engine, much more precise, and some other functions ..... though this "bug"

Are you using a USB hub for your XP10

no hub , sorry.
what i can also tell is that this kind of crash happened 2 times in different situations :
1st time) with an old laptop centrino 1,6mhz and a pioneer djm400 mixer
2nd time) with a new macbook dualcore 2,4mhz with a behringer dmx700 mixer.

after eliminating the main doubt about the power of laptop my constants are : xp10, win xp and vdj, the way i have to search through files (don't use library but browse through folders)

i'm thinking about eliminating xp10 or windows , i need your help in both cases !!

It can be linked to the way your folders are organized on your HD.

Indeed, you have to know that when VirtualDJ opens a folder, it has to read all the files of this folder (the filenames) in order to display them in your browser. Even if the data are stored in the xml file to speed up the process, you still have the delay to list all the files.

In clear, the more you have files in a folder, the more it will take time to list them. That's why I advise you to create sub-folders as soon as you can.

of course i organized my files as you told, i actually have 3 levels of subfolders which hardly go over 100 songs per folder : i don't think that's the problem because they have always been organized this way and with previous version (and hardware) never had crashes.

Thanks for any other suggestion may tune up my consolle.

in order to help you more where can i search details of the crash since crashreport didn't came up with anything this time ?

What are your settings in > browser> infos gathering ?
