down load and installed the plug in and followerd the instructions in the manual for performance and sound cards. http://www.virtualdj.com/addons/tools.html

and the onlything that was missing in that manual was that the bcd panel needs to be set to b dj and not advanced. And for me the Slider on the bcd controol panel is set to 12 milla seconds.

After all this i still had problems with it freezing i then disabled the lan and wireless lan. And disabled antivirus.

Now it has run for 12 hrs with out a crash. thats with me djing and switching to auto dj and then a bit more of me playing around.

Here is my laptop specs.

Gateway MT6451 Notebook PC - AMD Turion 64 X2 TL-50 1.6GHz, 802.11g Wireless, 1GB DDR2, 120GB HDD, Dual Layer DVD RW, 15.4" WXGA, Windows xp 599.00 Canadian at TigerDirect.com

Not sure if this is good enough for Video on not.

Hope this helps somebody.

I have chosen to have a small mini mixer for my system to go into bevcause i need a mike, but i also want to be able to have a mixer to put a cd player on, should i have a complete windows melt down. All Midi sound cand mixers like the Bcd2000 will not function as a mixer at all if you loose your system.
