This is an intermittent bug and can be a complete show stopper.


After some time playing tracks, whether its just MP3s or Videos, no matter what skin i use, no matter if virtualdj is "maximised" or not, no matter if fast browser resizing is enabled or not (im using a skin which is the same resolution as my screen anyway)

when the bug occurs the browser develops white bands on alternate lines in white (same colour as my browser text)
rendering 50% of the browser unreadable.

Its impossible to click config to attempt to change skin as this dosent work

the only way out of this bug is to drop to backup audio players and restart virtualdj


also occasionally the skin engine fails to update the deck progress/time displays after changing panels (also intermittently)


as these bugs are so intermittent, some gigs virtualdj plays fine all night and some these crop up 2 or 3 times a night or more.
I have screenshots of this on my gig system, will add these at my next gig...

Windows 7 and above..

VDJ running with video out

If i open an explorer window, then try to minimise or close the window, it does appear to go through the motions of the animation to minimise the window, but freezes (Then tha window covers parts of your screen, covering VDJ) aargh!

my fix for this was to turn off windows aero feature but now its even easier...

find the icon you use to launch VirtualDJ
Right Click it and go to Properties
Click the "Compatibility" tab
Tick "Disable Desktop Composition"

This WILL turn the aero desktop off but only while virtualdj is running and will re-enable it once virtualdj closes

hope it helps you out...

Been a DJ since 1994.
Moved into the digital era at around 1999.
Original idea was to use a few MP3's to reduce vinyl usage.
i wanted a HiFi MP3 cd player, but the club got me a PC.
Started with Real Jukebox, to just play the odd MP3.

then evolved to PCDJ Silver, then AtomixMP3.
thats when i really moved my entire collection to MP3.

now using Virtual DJ. (And still updating my MP3's from my CD & vinyl collection.)
