Hi fyx,
This might be related to a couple things. First can you tell me your full computer specs and if you have removed corrupt files from your music library?
Can you try 1.5 again? - serato.com

a lot of people always rush the install process and this happens.

Hey guys,
Can you try these steps:
- Does it keep happening every time, or is it just the first time?
- Disable your internet connection and try again
- Try a fresh install (uninstall/delete the Serato package folder from Program Files first and then download a new package for install).
Let me know how it goes.
Sorry for the static on the wire.

Matt P

Is everyone on windows 7 64bit having this issue?
If not then it may be a windows registry conflict. get CCleaner Professional in trial mode.
un-install Serato DJ 1.6,use CC to cleanout your computer including the registry...Re-boot,then re-install.
If that fails,you may have to just use the 32bit version of windows 7.Serato DJ is 32Bit application i believe.

SDJ 1.6 should work with 64bit windows. This shouldn't be the cause of the issue.

I know Matt,but was thinking that could be a quick fix since he's willing to re-format...Windows is so complicated/un-predictable...i'd advise a Macbook Pro to the above when they get the funds.
I've been at peace ever since i switched in 2007

Hello,
The problem is that, despite the correct installation program does not react. It shows a white or black background. I do not know what is the reason. Can you help?

Hi fyx,
Have you disabled anti virus software?
You can try renaming the _Serato_ folder to see if this helps to allow you to open.
Follow these steps:
Close Serato Applications
Navigate to the "My Music" folder and locate the _Serato_ folder
Rename _Serato_ folder to _Serato_old (Don't worry about the backup folder)
Open Serato DJ
This will create a new _Serato_ folder in your "My Music" folder and create a blank template with no crates or any other stored information.
Are you able to open?
To regain information as you left it
Close Serato DJ
Trash new _Serato_ folder
Rename _Serato_Old back to _Serato_
Open Serato DJ
Everything should be back to normal.

Hi fyx,
Ok, the new version wont have this screen in it. I have had some good luck from a user who created another userprofile with admin permissions.
Let me know if you want to try that..
