Hi
I recently bought a new laptop with windows 8.1 (big upgrade from my last laptop with XP).So I installed virtual dj LE from the disk which was provided with the controller,just as I did with my last laptop. When I open virtual dj all the buttons light up as usual but then it doesn't work.The computer sees the soundcards,there is no problem in device manager.It worked perfectly once and I did not change the settings or anything and then it never worked again. I've tried all the usb ports on the computer 3.0 and 2.0 and I've reinstalled and upgraded all the drivers but it nothing has changed.I also uninstalled a security program I had that was stopping my ipod but that didn't do anything either. I am absolutely baffled and really need some help I can't think of anything else to do.

Have you tried uninstalling the drivers.
Re-installing them and THEN plugins the device into a USB 2.0 port?
The fact that sound is working suggests it may just be a midi driver error.
Give it a go and let us know how you get on.

If thats the case then it points towards a possible driver error.
You mentioned you have re-installed the drivers. Did you UNINSTALL the original ones first??
If not then try to uninstall. Plug the device in and see if Windows detects the device. Then follow the instructions to install the drivers.

Please register your LE serial to your account and download the installation file from the same page, to make sure you have the latest available version.

What exactly do you see in Devices Manager ? Can you upload a pic and provide the link here ?
Can you also try to install the Home Free version from here http://www.virtualdj.com/download/free.html and see if the unit works (for 10 minutes) ?

The LE version that came with your DJ2GO controller will work only with that specific device.
If you wish to use the Gemini CTRL7, you will need either to uninstall the old LE version and install the one that came bundled with your Gemini (and use the VirtualDJ LE 7 Gemini keycode/serial) , or purchase Pro Infinity in case the Gemini never came with VirtualDJ LE (2nd hand purchase controller)

I am having similar issue after updating to v2245. Fixed Netsearch issues, but lost all control except by mouse/keyboard. Occurred immediately after next start up (same day), so has to be update bug/issue?

UPDATE**
I re-installed an earlier version and regained control of my Gemini- 7 but lost audio search capabilities again. Bug in 2245?
Okay. re-installed again all seems okay ??????? Not sure the cause or cure.

Later same day.................................
Back to non-working status. It shouldn't be this difficult to play music. It also shouldn't require a degree in computer science.
I was under the misplaced presumption that's what we pay a fee for. Worked fine until the upgrade, but I couldn't get the music I pay for that way.
It would be nice if we could go back and download previous versions that worked. Am I missing something here?

OK, here is a little back story of what I found and my solution, I hope it works for you. I bought a CNTRL7 and it worked great with VDJ 7 Pro. I got 8 and it seems to connect once in a while, and most times the CNTRL7 just sits dead. I bought a 5v power supply for it because I thought with all the USB gear I am running at a gig, maybe the CNTRL7 needs what my laptop cannot provide. Soooo, I booted the laptop with USB cable attached and using powered mode on CNTRL7. Same problem, VDJ 8 will not initiate the CNTRL7.
Now for my solution and I hope it works for you all...
Run VDJ 7 PRO
Run VDJ 8
Quit VDJ 7 Pro
CNTRL7 works perfectly
This is a Dual Core Dell Studio XPS running a bit over 2ghz, 8 gigs of ram, SSD hard drive. External Keyboard, and Logitech Mouse (Yes, logitech mice work with CNTRL7), External HDD for extra music. Let me know if this helped you and maybe the Devs can fix the initiate procedure for VDJ 8.

That's interesting.
We have a few reports about erratic connection of CTRL7 in VirtualDJ 8. We will have a sample unit hopefully next week and we ll try to troubleshoot and fix the issue.

Any progress on this topic. Since my update to windows 8.1 the control doesn't respond anymore. Is there a patch or solution available. Now I have a piece of junk worth 250usd on my desk.
