Since installing 4.1 my VDJ has been freezing and I didnt know why. My search has revealed that during the mix the CPU usage is topping out at 100% and then freezing. In the past there would be a rise but never that high. My machine is a 3200 Mhz AMD with 512 Ram so it cannot be the machine. Your thoughts please.

you have a fast processor yes
but in relative figures a small amount of ram
so try lowering your proformance tab

I am having similar problem on my AMD based laptop. Even when no songs are loaded, I takes 30% of the CPU. Something else is going on, and I haven't figured it out. I get 0% cpu usage on my other Intel based laptop. I didn't get this problem before.

try some optimisation tools

Try diableing the video acceleration in your video card settings. laptops have a problem with that issue. Your cpu should stop maxing out after that.

I am talking about your display settings in the control panel. Go to settings then advanced and under troubleshooting run the hardware acceleration slider all the way over to the none position. This will reduce the load on the cpu.

Also, if you have video preview windows that are active on your screen, they may pull some CPU power too. even if no decks are playing.

When I just start up VDJ, and use the effects it still crashes I think it's a software problem.... I've been only using the my laptop in the bed room which isn't too hot.........

Are you using the Hercules DJC mapper? There is a bug with that where when you enable it in WDM (non-asio) mode, it uses a whole lot (if not all) of cpu. The workaround is to always be sure that VDJ starts in asio mode and then change it to WDM (standard) mode once it is started. This means always switch the Hercules to asio before cloing the program. Changing the mode is done under the 'sound card' tab of the setup screen.
DJ Cel says he will be coming out with a fix for the mapper, but the workaround works ok for me for now.
