...then pop over to the newbies forum to tell us all a bit about yourself (we're a nosey bunch! :p)

Martin, I don't know either, but I reckon I know a man who should know. I'll check later.

Sounds like you changed the skin and it doesn't match the resolution of your screen so errors, probabbly the easy fix is to simply uninstall and then reinstall to get the default skin and xml back. You could edit the xml file but need to half know what your doing, I would try the unistall/reinstall.

PCDJ VJ was a variant of Virtual DJ and I think PCDJ VJ is no longer endorsed or supported by Atomix the creator of Virtual DJ and I would personally cough up and purchase VDJ
when funds allow - that way you can get access to the support forums and downloads.

I took this answer from VDJ support:

The most common cause of this error is installing the software while logged in as one user (E.g: Fred) and then trying to run it as a different user (E.g: Joe.)

The other user is missing the My Documents\VirtualDJ folder. VirtualDJ will not run without this.

To resolve, please either:

(1) Install the software as the user you will be running it as.

(2) Manually copy the My Documents\VirtualDJ folder across to the other user.


Another cause is installing the software without administrator privileges under Vista or Windows 7. To resolve, right-click on the VirtualDJ installation file and choose Run as administrator. Also, we would recommend turning off UAC (User Account Control) in Windows Vista and 7.


This error can also be caused by installing an invalid or incompatible skin (E.g: Designed for a newer version of the software.) If this is the case, please delete the skin from My Documents\VirtualDJ\Skins

Also sometimes if you do not zip the graphic and xml skin files together it springs this error.

I hope this helps?

Thanks all for the replies,still havn't solved my problem,however i'm now told windows 8 isn't supported with the PCDJ VJ prog.can anyone confirm this?:confused:
