Last night, my lower end laptop that has always played videos well with virtual dj and hoster, froze twice. I do have and need virtual dj minimized during the show, as I always have.

Also, I notice that when I move the cursor around in the playlist to a different song, that little hourglass comes up for a split second, almost like their is a real short waiting period before I should do anything else. Never noticed that before. The laptop is 1 gB memory ram and video card is 256 mB shared video ram, nVidea. Has anyone else noticed this very slight pause when relocating that blue line in the playlist.

The first freeze came up when I was sliding a song up on the playlist. I wondered if I was doing things too fast (interfering with that 1/2 second hourglass maybe). When hoster closed and I restarted, another set list appeared. It was one that I had previously loaded before the show on a second instance of hoster (was doing this to S+ a few ppl by digging up old playlists. But that screen was closed out when the show started. But that still was the playlist that came up when I restarted hoster after the freeze.

Second freeze occurred when I hit pause, waited a few seconds, and hit resume, hourglass came up and wouldn't go away. Upon restart, only part of the current playlist reopened. It was the first 10 singers that had already sung from that playlist. The playlist was much longer at the time of freeze-up. I think before the show I had opened and closed that instance by mistake with perhaps that 10 song playlist showing, somehow it remembered that list instead of what was on at the time of freeze up.

Any ideas?

Any comments?

What do ya think?

If it would have only been one freeze, I would have passed it off as a random nonre-occurring thing, but two in one night after years of having none at all seems odd.
