Hi all.
Currently using VDJ 5.2 with a Numark DJ-IO. Specs are Dell inspiron 1720 ,2ghz dual core with 4gb ram. Problem is every now and then VDJ freezes for maybe a couple of seconds then carries on. This happens maybe 2 or 3 times in a show which isnt really good with a full dancefloor. Anyone any idea what could be causing this? I have tried shutting down all non essential programs with no success. any help appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Since your sound interface is using USB it might be a good idea to go to device manager and check that "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" option is not enabled on any of them.
I had problems with sound with an M-Audio interface because of this

Looked in device manager and power management is unchecked for all the usb ports, so guess it cant be that. thank you for your input...Appreciated

Hope this helps.

Will change the settings as you recommend and try it at my next show. Programs running in the background are google desktop, wireless internet connection, Dell quickstart and virginmedia pc guard (firewall, anti virus, anti spyware package) All of which I shut down before running VDJ.
Many thanks

Disable the Wireless internet connection whilst using VirtualDJ. This causes sound problems.
Un-install or disable Virginmedia PC guard, I had this on my first PC and it's one of the biggest hogs for resources ever. If you need a AV try the free version of AVG ( I think it's version 8), this does not use alot of resources compared with PC guard, and it sits quite light on you system.

thanks for the input guys. finally found the solution! Downloaded DPC Latency Checker, followed the instructions, seems it was the wifi card and the SD Host controller which were causing the drop outs. so now I just disable these in device manager when doing a show and Hey Presto! NO DROP OUTS!....... SORTED!
