Whats the actual error?

If it's regarding a missing file, I'd recommend updating your DirectX 9 runtime to the latest version :)

It just cames up with

"Error in DirectX" in a little error box when I first opened VDJ5 and it has popped up 5 times whilst playing.

Where do I go to update DirectX 9 runtime, the microsoft website ???

Downloaded the latest version of DirectX 9 runtime and installed, from the Microsoft website.

Just messing around with something else at the mo, will try to see if the error is sorted later if I got time.

I had that happen and It was because I installed a video card and it chenged some of my default settings.

Check your soundcard settings in control panel and in VDJ.

Thanks spinnaJ

Changed my herc settings as you describe,

When I open VDJ 5 with my Herc plugged in I don't get the error, It seems fine.

Without the Herc I get the error, So it seems to be a fault with my onboard sound of my Laptop if you get what I mean.

There is no faulty on ur onboard sound :)

Got it I think spinnaJ

In the Sound set up in config of VDJ, without my herc connect I had no so Soundcard highlighted. So I clicked on Primary sound Driver, then closed VDJ.

I re opened VDJ and got no error.

Fingers crossed I've sorted it.

Hi there..
I'm getting the same DirectX error on my new laptop.
I'm not using any timecode CD's.
I usually plug the phono-RCA cables from the sound card straight to the mixers.

I just changed to this Dell XPS laptop running Vista.
Bought a new Maya44 USB Soundcard for this.
Previously i was using a Creative PCMCIA external sound card on a Lenovo no problems.

I've got VDJ Version 5 installed. It's running the latest DirextX 10.
I play a song and the screen display just doesn't move.
I can't mix any songs, I can't hear any sound.

Help! I got a gig in two weeks time at a big club. :s

Thanks!
