serato dj was working fine a week ago now as soon as i open it it crashes in less than a minute tried unistalling, reinstalling, redoing database, downgrading, and still the same problem, i did however install serato dj on a sony vio laptop and connected my ddj s1 to it and it worked fine but i need it to work on my current laptop seeing as how i have my music internally & organized on itunes when i usually open up serato. please help thanks

Hey XXTHEPRADAXX,

Thanks for getting in touch,

Before I can start the troubleshooting process I need to gather some further information,

1. Can you send me your FULL computer specs?
-- RIGHT-Click your MY COMPUTER icon and select PROPERTIES
-- Copy this information back to me please.

2. How big is your internal hard drive?
-- How much free space do you have on it?

3. Are you using any external hard drives to organise your music?
-- How big is the drive?
-- How much free space is on the drive?
-- Is the drive just used for music files?

4. Do you use iTunes to organise your music?
-- How big is your iTunes music library?

5. Are you using any other USB devices?
-- Any wireless mouses / keyboards?

Thanks :)
