Thats the thing i cant open VDJ to set the skin!
 
delete the main skin

and then

place another in the program folder

see what happens
 
What version of Windows are you using?

I have had some problems using skins that are zipped.. Try extracting the 2 files to the skins folder and load them from there. I am using (gonna get stick for admitting this) XP MCE

I'm using xp too :-(

What do u mean by extracting everything?!??!?

Oh and the delete and replace thing dont work
 
me means media center

dont worry webbo04

try extracting a skin zip and see what happens

 
I am using Media Centre XP, which can cause problems,

If you look in your skins folder there are .zip files. If you open these files they contain a .bmp and a .xml file. Copy these two files and paste them to the skins directory, then you can select them from your skins list in virtual - you will notice they look slightly different..

instead of:
eg
ZIPNAME:SKIN_NAME

you should now also see
SKIN_NAME

Yeah but i cant get into virtual dj cos thats the message i get when i fire up.
 
go to the program folder

go to my computer

then
your hardrive

then program files

and then Virtual dj

then skins

then you will find the files :-)
 
done what you said. Still no luck
 
tried delting the skin and replacing it with another?
 
sounds like the default skin may be corrupted. Might be an idea to either download the default skin again or re-install Virtual.

Virtual always defaults back to the original skin, but if there is corruption there and it cannot load the default skin................................... :'(

Yeh Just Tried this and no luck :-((((((

I've emailed tech support anyway
 
Only other thing I can think of is a registy problem :S

Hope the tech guys can work their magic for you

try a hard uninstall

uninstall using control panel

then

go to run and type "regedit"

search for virtualdj

delete all the keys then reinstall

:)
 
Strange, this error is when you have bad closed TAGS or something on the XML file of our skin.

As you said you've tried to change skin, do what others tols, unistall completely the software.
