Virtual DJ settings

[Burak Yazar]

Hi,
I have been trying for ages to actually get virtual DJ to remember my settings however, every time I close the app. It seems to forget all my settings and I have to re-assign all my settings back to how it was previously. Is there a way to do this easily?
I know this question has been asked before but, I didn’t understand what the user instructed ie copy settings from the .bin file.
Can somebody please help?
Regards
Real.

Hi Burak,
This isn't a problem in VDJ or MallMix.
Open up your antivirus settings - if you're using the windows defender you should open up this feature. Then you should set your vdj folder as well as your documents folder as exceptions so your antivirus program will not scan or detect anything from out there. This may solve your issue.

Hi, VDJ program settings are saved in settings.xml,
but Mallmuzik settings like speech and some switches are saved in VDJm2s.bin
Everything should be saved automatically, so have you tried reinstalling both programs? Regards.

Hi

Yes, is the short answer. I tried reinstalling several times but it doesn’t seem to save, what does happen though, it’s very interesting. When I close virtual DJ and reopen it, the settings are saved, however if I were to close all apps and reopen them after a while the settings are back to its defaults.

Which system are you using?

[Burak Y]

Hi,

I am using a Lenovo laptop, 32 gigs of RAM, I5/8 generation, Windows 11 pro.

The latest version of Mal music is installed.

If it is any use copying and pasting some of the details from the Settings files each time, I don’t mind doing that either. Just tell me how to do that and I’ll be very happy.

Regards,

Real.

Hi, Try uninstalling VDJ again, then check if there are any remnants of
VirtualDJ in the folder
C:\Users\User name\Documents

Be sure to also check the folder
"C:\Users\User name\AppData\Roaming\
Are there any VDJ profiles from the older installation
and you can also check the folder
"C:\Program Files"
if there is
VirtualDJ
or
Atomix

Delete all remnants that you find and only then install the new VDJ.

I think that the problems are caused by the old VDJ profile in the appdata folder.

The new version of VDJ creates a profile only in the documents folder, but the old profile from appdata loads even when only one new VDJ is installed.
Removing the old profile is only possible without VDJ installed.

Copying the settings will not be easy because VDJ loads the settings.xml file during startup and uses it from temporary memory. Therefore, it is not it is not possible to copy or paste settings while the VDJ program is open.

First, try to thoroughly search for remnants of other VDJ installations before a new installation, this should solve your problems with the settings not being remembered, best regards Zenek
