Topic: trouble with win 7 64bit - Page: 1

This part of topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information

Hi everyone,
I apologize in advance for my bad English. But to the point after about three years I have bought a new laptop Fujitsu Life Book AH530/hd6 Windows 7 HP 64-bit, I installed Virtual DJ 7 loaded database and released his first video. There was a problem, but once I added a second deck, another began to cut the entire program, and after a moment he appeared this table:

Decompressing this file in memory would require 45Mb of contiguous memory. Your system has only a total of 161Mb available free segments (out of the 4095Mb), and they are too fragmented to hold a contiguous buffer. Therefore, the song will be loaded on-the-fly from the drive ( and the full waveform preview will not be available).

I'm no computer expert so therefore I ask. I was especially angry that my old laptop and handle all the new and improved me making trouble. Please advice

I'm getting the same error on both my machines since the last 2 vdj versions 7.03&4. One is a win 7 64 bit and the other vista 32 bit. It's becoming a pain in the butt. It happens mostly with video files regardless of file format

untick the "use hardware acceleration" in the video tab..

does the problem go away? or is it still problematic?

I think that error message was added in those versions because the users wanted more clarity on what was happening with VDJ.

IE: using an older version of VDJ wont get rid of the problem.. you will just not be informed as early that there is a problem.

I confirm it
 
Both Machines of mine have 4 gigs of ram.. I shouldn't have any ram issues
 
There is definitely something wrong with the last 2 builds of VDJ. The Ram issues were not there before.. its not either of my PC's. Both have 4 gigs each
 
Do you have an ATI card and did Windows Update install new drivers for it recently? I remember another thread where certain versions of ATIs drivers produced this problem.
 
Both the Laptop and the Rackmount PC have ATI Radeon HD cards
 
I didnt let windows do an update for eithor of them.. The updates came directly from ATI/AMD
 
actually the laptop has 6 gigs of memory. there is no excuse for having memory buffer problems. did a lengthy ram test.. it was fine
 
After a clean install and registry wipe (installed version 7.0.2) the issue has gone away for me. its an issue with versions 7.0.3 & 7.0.4
 
I am running 16gb ram and am getting the message.
 
i spoke too soon. I'm hoping that another clean install of both an older version of VDJ and the ATI drivers (from 3-2010) and a registry cleanup works. I tested it last night for a half hour, It'll be tested Saturday night heavily. usually i can get the message within 5 minutes of playing on either the 32bit vista or the 64bit win 7 computers
 
That did the trick on the rackmount (win vista 32 bit) but not the laptop (win 7 64 bit)

You should try it again with the newest version of VDJ to confirm it was the ATI drivers (as you posted in another thread) and not VDJ.
 
I use win 7 x64 on a laptop using 7.0.3 and have never had an issue with playing well over an hour of video at night using various video formats seamlessly. 4 GB DDR2 and basic intel video chip set.
 
VDJ is 32 bit, not 64 so even though the OS can address the 6 GB of RAM the software itself can only address up to 4 GB btw. Only 64 bit software can use the greater RAM quantities despite an OS abilities. There's more technical aspects to this but a 32 bit app itself is still fundamentally limited. 64 bit encoding would be kinda cool on vdj but the number of technical perks might not be as great as time involved to recode for 64 bit computing. You might actually have better luck on the laptop going down to 4 GB of RAM just to test and see if that does the trick.
 
Ok, today after one song I got the "error" on my laptop... So, I uninstalled the entire ati suite, then ran a registry cleanup, restarted Then reinstalled an older ati driver ( from 1/10) and now I'm am having no issues at all. So in both machines I was able to find that it was the ati drivers and not vdj.

It seems (judging by the majority of threads I have went thru),
most people who are having the "memory error" have either an ATI or AMD video card chipset, and newer drivers.
(I have three computers, all with ATI video cards, and never saw this problem, but thats probably because they are older cards, with the older drivers on them, only with my brand new notebook did I see this for the first time)
