    This thread seems to have gone a bit quieter in recent months, is that because the issues with Windows machines have been sorted now?

    Reason I ask is that I'm picking up my S4 this week, and I just wanted to make sure that I've got everything ready before it arrives. It sounds from this thread like there's a few things to do to get things running smoothly. Can anyone confirm whether my machine is likely to have these issues? The specs are:

    HP Compaq dc7900 (Desktop PC)
    Intel Core 2 Duo CPU 2.66GHz x 2
    2 GB RAM
    Windows Vista 32 bit

    Thanks very much.

    Hello all...this is my first post here at DJTT and this by far has been the best thread for me so far. So here is my current setup:

    Lenovo Thinkpad T61 (I dunno why but I love these things)
    Intel Core 2 Duo @ 2.00gHz
    4GB RAM
    100GB HDD (I bought the laptop for 150 bucks so the HDD is small...plans to upgrade next week)
    Kontrol S4 and X1
    Windows 7 64-bit

    I do have one question. When ever I use my trackpad to move the mouse cursor the beatgrid area (I'm not sure what its called) seems to move much smoother. And when I stop using it the area isn't as smooth. Any ideas?

    I just got both of the controllers the other day and I am really excited to use them both.

    really it's digital jockey, cause we ride media files :B

    nice work recording all of the process for pc people, jogs my memory after i was still being utilizing a BCD3000 and Traktor 3 (dual boot, removed lower xp consuming around 70mb of ram when idle).

    I think the thread is much quieter as people are just generally using the advice posted here as most of the questions have been answered. This machine should be ok. The RAM might be a little on the low side if you don't strip out the other non-essential stuff.

    I am afraid I don't really have an explanation for that behavior - sorry!

    Thanks. You're right it was fine. Was worried beforehand so stopped some nonessential processes and removed some programs, but it works perfectly.
