Hi all

so here we go I still having issues with windows 8 on 64 set up I have even tried in compatible mode with windows 7 but wont have it at all just get windows explorer saying has found a problem


I have chatted to numark and they saying ns 6 is fine but it not when the ns 6 connected its just when I set up of crates with no device connected just in siting it up and ofcours with it doing this I cant use on road yet

I feel it by fair time you should be fixing issues by now and helping us d j that have payee for your kit

Try ITCH, but just know that Serato does not presently officially support Windows 8.

Hi Aaron
well I tried Sunday at a wedding show just to run it in the back ground just to test and o m g what a night mar it was came up with program
1 had a problem must shut down
2 out of mummery must shut down
3 with controller on laptop and just reading crates went in to same as one
on doing as you say Task Manager just say disc 100 % and all it doing is reading crates

crates
witch I think is weird too as when I lode s d j up it reading them as in each m p 3 why as I have analyse them all so I think just lode them not read them all over each time
I even cheek that there in the right folder on laptop and are going by the s d j manual
so over to you

also as I did say itch seems to work a lot better witch is weird as your saying windows 8 is moor suited for 8 !!!!!!!

I still am of the thinking that we are trying to run a 32 bit program on a64 bit laptop witch it not like doing ........
here from you soon andy

Hi Aaron

no I think you miss under stout what I mean vi know I not need iTunes open as s d j has a tab to tick
what I was trying to say was that in 8 I did the Task Manager, right click on seratodj.exe and set as "high priority , but if you go to I think its is details then look at what is running then I have a big list of windows a v g iTunes ect witch say are running in backgrounds
the list to long to name there but gest could not be helping
chndler ac 11:11 PM - 29 May, 2013
hi Aaron I have a find looking at the task manger at start up so we can see what I can turn off at start and stop running will let you know when I have info
