This is a very good tool to use for this purpose which I also use with good results, it's called GameBosster, try it.. you can downloaded here.. http://www.iobit.com/gamebooster.html

I've gone thru about every background service I found that wasn't required.
Haven't tried gameBooster yet, but I will.

Also, I see that others are getting similar crashes too, but just not as often, then again, I play more often than most, i.e., approx. 500 singers a week.

Go into the Config part of the program and get alot of additional options to tweak it even more then the autorun option.

Good Luck...

Bryant, do you still have only 2Gig of RAM? I found I had less problems when I went from 2-3 Gig of RAM. That's especially helpful with Video.

This is a brand new laptop with nothing on it, defragged, all background services disabled, only two installed programs, Hoster and VDJ, but only Hoster running. It has 8 gB ram and a 1 gB video ram dedicated video card, i5 processor at 2.6 gHz speed, and a 7200 rpm 750 gB HD with 2/3 of that being free and empty. It is a top-of-the-line gaming laptop for like $1,000 . Never goes online, but is fully windows 7 updated at this time with ALL MTU recommendations for Windows 7 accomplished.

I play every form of video on high def over 4 extended screens very clearly and completely flawless with every video effect running simultaneously that you can imagine with Virtual DJ for hours on end.

Could do the same thing with Hoster 4.09D and VDJ on a 10 year old 2 gB laptop just two months ago. Never had a crash back then.

OK, I thought you had a new laptop, but your Signature says you only have 2Gig of Ram, so I was going by that. Remember Hoster also has to use more resourses than 4.09 did because of all the new things that have been added since. I still get an occasional Crash also that I can't pin down to anything but I'm still using my old Vista and I know it took a alot of tweaking. GREMLINS!

yes, I see. My signature says that that is my tester machine. I need to be clearer on that, I guess. I am aware of more resources used for Hoster 5, however, VDJ has had three new upgrades the past three years and the same old laptop with 2 gB is doing fine with it. I would think that going from 2 to 8 gB is way above the the recommendation of Hoster 5's 2 gB ram still.

Maybe somehow I am missing one tweak or something?

How occasional is your crashes, Gerry?

Keep in mind that 1 crash a month for you may be equivalent to twice a week for me at the rate I play.
