Hi Everyone & Happy Christmas.
I have bought Virtual DJ Pro and i used it on Saturday 22nd December Everything was fine but through the night on a couple of occasions my External hard drive started scanning for files although Virtual DJ was still playing this was scary as i thought it was about to crash. this has never done this before so can anyone suggest a fix or any other possible ideas. Before my next party on 29th December many thanks

It sounds like you lost connection and then regained it. VDJ will keep working when this happens because of the way it works with the database. I would suspect that you have a bad USB or Firewire cord. Just try a new one and see what happens. If it still does it then it could be a bad USB port on the computer (Try an different one) or it could be a bad connection on the external drive.
There is a little trouble shooting but you should be able to figure it out in time. Hopefully not at a gig.
Good luck.

Agree also check to see what your settings are regarding sleep mode. Sometimes usb are set to sleep after so many minutes.

also, is the connection type usb or firewire? if firewire, is it the small 4-pin? I find the connector bends very easily after heavy use and becomes very loose and only a sneeze can disconnect it. You can take a pair of pliers and bend the metal housing so it's a more snug fit. or you can just buy a cardbus or expresscard firewire device which is 6 pin which is more stable for devices. its a known issue with soundcard especially that 6pin is much more stable and reliable than 4pin.
