Has anyone come accross the problem where Serato Software (V1107)on OSX 10.3.2 does not display the 'virtual vinyl' discs that spin on the screen?

Thank you so much for responding so quickly - The colours are definately the cause of the problem.

Having the solution is great, however I can't help buty think that it should not be a problem even at the lowest possible colour selection.

Sorry if i somehow missed this in any FAQ's or inthe docs...

no problem, great that it was the solution.

cheers

Zac what model of laptop are you using? It sounds like you don't have enough video ram to handle the extra buffering when set to thousands of colours.

Brand Spanking new 12" Powerbook OSX 10.3.2 - 256MB ram ?

It's well within the specs...

Hmm, those have 64mb video cards, which should be enough. Are you running _any_ other software at the same time? We obviously can't have absolute control over system resources, that's the OS's job.
