an odd glitch....

[Paka Ono]

I saw in your sig that you are using an external drive. Is your library on that external drive?

If so then that could be your problem. A lot of external drives shut down, and require time to spin back up when accessed.

Just my thoughts on the matter.

i have an external drive, but the sleep on it is disabled, even so i havent used it for quite a long time, but thanks anyway mate, im goint to try everything suggested so far in the thread tonight and ill let ya'll know how i get on. once again, cheers guys, theres not many places you can get the sort of help that you can here.

I disable my cd drive, bluetooth, wifi, network driver, onboard sound etc. Basically everything I can.

[brian_johnstone]

same absolutely everything is disabled, thats why im so puzzled by it.

@ garygary, if i disable search indexing from the link you posted, will i still be able to search from my start menu, as i'd say i use that feature almost as much as traktor's internal search function.

searching just takes longer with the indexing turned off

My money is on the search. I say search, it's the indexing that is the real culprit. Windows goes through the contents of you hard drive(s) looking for new/updated files and then adds the contents and metedata of those files to it's index. This indexing process screws with lots of apps and is probably more troublesome than wifi. Traktor search should not be affected as it will be using it's own code rather than relying on Windows Indexing.

When you turn Searching Off you can still search but it does not reference the Index file, it just executes the old school brute force search.

thanks for the input guys, i backdated the a4 driver and i had no problems whatsoever, but if it pops back up i will disable the indexing and try that too, but for now all is good

Be sure to turn off the sub-space relay and disengage the power couplings if you are going to do that. The thermal jacks will need re-aligning too.
