I may try it again... Is the workaround the newer version or something else?

How many DJ software programs have you purchased, and which do you actually use?

First try V2.0, they may have fixed the graphics issue. Note the two different downloads - 32 or 64 bit. Don't worry about your OS (I'm assuming your on a 64 bit system), download the one that supports your controller's and/or soundcard's ASIO driver. Example, I'm on Windows 10 but my Vestax Typhoon's ASIO driver is 32 bit, so I run Mixxx 32 bit.
I need 32 bit as well, and I'm running Windows 7 at the moment. Does Mixxx run good on Windows 10? There's no reason for me not to upgrade to Windows 10, but I like how everything works on Windows 7 right now... very stable.

I'll want to use it with my American Audio VMS 4.1, or my Pioneer DDJ-T1.

I experimented with Atomix (sp??), but never used it live. Atomix eventually morphed into Virtual DJ...but I never used that either.
I started with PC DJ (Red??) back in the late 90's. I liked the interface, but it was a resource hog.
After a few years, I switched to BPM Studio, and used that from about Y2k until about 2008. BPM Studio was more stable, and had a smaller memory footprint than PC DJ. BPM Studio was otherwise solid, but I got sick of the hardware dongle, and the lack of updates.
I moved to Traktor Duo in about 2008 - there was a sale for $50 just before Traktor Pro was released. I upgraded to Traktor Pro 2 when it came out, and I have been using that since.

If you liked BPM Studio, there is also another free program very similar to it it - DigiJay
DigiJay - The Freeware DJ Tool - Home
In fact, it will accept BPM Studio data files. It has an excellent interface, very good "Auto DJ" function, and the split screen that I like. I've actually used it live. Main issue is only the gui is English - everything else is Austrian/German - and you will probably have to map your controller yourself - but it works great with just a mouse.

Wow old thread, I'm currently switching to VDJ 8.1, OTS is just getting left in the dust though it does everything that I need it to be. I'm actually fascinated to what VDJ has become and what it has to offer. I feel its time for a change into the future for out business and that is were its headed.
Yeah, as a noobie to this forum I was snooping around some of your older stuff, looking for things that might be of interest and benefit to me. It probably won't be the last time this happens.
Sometimes rehashing an old thread is a good idea
Unless he finds those threads where Canute tells us how wrong we are.
LOL tru dat, by the way what ever happen to Jon's fur jacket if we are speaking about old? I do miss the late night drunk after gig calls. )
When I first started out in radio, I did the midnight to 6am Friday and Saturday shifts while still doing weddings and events. Many night at about 2:15am to 3am, I'd get the female lonely/drunk calls asking me some really weird questions.
But most asked "what do you look like" and "can I come down to the studio".
A few became regulars and after a bit, we'd chat for a while about life and such. Aaahhh, the good old days...
You are my idol. Any man that can pull that off with a smile is a better man than I.I have worn it but I dont have it. His mom may be in possession of said coat.
I have probably forgot most of the DJ software I have tried over the years, I tried both Traktor and Serato, didnt like the look, so, for now I will stick with VDJ. My other program I use is Zara Radio.
Regulars on the phone or at the studio
Just regular callers on the phone. The studios and lobby had security cameras, plus I don't play that game.
