Hello guys I got a problem with the song loading.
Sometimes my songs just load quickly in like 10 seconds, but most of the time it takes ages to fully load a song which is annoying. I cant find the problem so my question to you guys is; How can I fix this problem?

If a song takes a long time to load, then this may be due to performance issues. Common causes are:
* You are using a computer that does not meet the recommended system requirements listed at the bottom of the page: http://www.virtualdj.com/products/virtualdj/index.html - Loading on old computers or on 'NetBook' computers will be very slow due to the low performance of these systems.
* You are using an external hard drive that may have gone to sleep. This will cause a delay when you go to load a song from it, which can be anything from a few seconds to almost half a minute on some badly designed drives. If your external drive takes more than a few seconds to wake from sleep, you should replace it with a better quality and faster drive.
* You are using a slow hard drive, or slow USB connection (Some much older computers may have USB 1.x ports instead of 2.0) If you are loading videos, these are very large files (Typically 10x the size of a normal MP3 audio file), so they will naturally take much longer to load. A 7200 RPM or faster drive is recommended for videos.
* You are playing videos and have the 48Khz resampling option under CONFIG > Performances set to quality rather than fast.
* The SpeedLoad setting, which can be toggled on/off via the Registry Tool http://www.virtualdj.com/addons/2170/Registry_Tool.html - This option is designed to slow down loading on older slower computers to prevent sound break-up that could occur due to the processor being too busy with loading/analysing the song. Sometimes this can be triggered on more high-end computers, resulting in unnecessary slow loading.

Everything is fine, but I got a question about the performace. Should it be on 48khZ conversion and Fast resampling, or on Quick resampling?

It should be on fast resampling (The other option is quality resampling which may result in slow loading for 48Khz videos unless you have a fast computer 2Ghz dual core or better.)
The difference in quality between the two will be unnoticeable unless you have very good ears and a very good sound card and sound system.

Everything should be fine according to the causes that you posted. I have searched on other forums and people told that there is an option called ´Max load´ at the Options tab, but I guess that this option isn´t there anymore cause I can´t find it at Options.
Are there any other ways to fix it? If so, please tell me.
My laptop has the following specifications:
Intel Celeron CPU 900 @ 2.20GHz, 2 GB RAM. 320 GB Memory running on Windows 7 64 bit.
So the specifications should be more then fine I guess.

The option can only be changed in the Windows registry.
For registered licensed users there is a tool to safely edit this setting and many others: http://www.virtualdj.com/addons/2170/Registry_Tool.html
Otherwise you can edit the registry yourself directly: http://www.virtualdj.com/wiki/RegistryValues.html
WARNING: Take great care editing the registry. If you are unsure, please seek assistance from an IT expert. You make changes to the registry at your OWN RISK.

I have toggled the Speedload setting on, at the windows registry, and it helped. So the problem is fixed.
Thanks alot for helping me with this issue!
