What are the actual issues that Windows XP media centre 2005 is having with virtual DJ. I just ordered a laptop that has this operating system and even though I'm going to upgrade to Windows XP pro, I would like to know what the issues are.

No need to upgrade. Runs fine on Media Edition.

The issues people run into are hardware compatibilities and the O/S. Not VirtualDJ and the O/S. If you plan on using any of the hardware that has compatibility issues (like the M-Audio posts) then you may want to change. But, VirtualDJ does not have issues with Media Center. Biggest things with VDJ is the latest DirectX and all drivers up-to-date for your hardware. If you get to that point then the rest is hardware for the most part.
And, BTW; don't think that DirectX and your drivers are up-to-date because you just got a new laptop. Even then the manufacturer are always a few releases behind.

Thanks alot for the info cstoll. The hardware I use is the DAC-3 and a gigaport. Are there any known issues with these.

Not that I have seen or heard of. As in the M-audio posts it's some of the more eccentric stuff that has problems.

True that....DirectX has an update dated 10/10/06, and I'm sure most machines that are selling now are not that current!
