None of the Windows PC's that I've ever owned have done that.

not sure what's the problem here ... why pointlessly slag off other members of this community ?

Just seeing who's really awake with a brain engaged. One of the regular trolls already fell into the trap but wasn't quite dumb enough to leave the message up for too long

Nope - Native Instruments just released a statement retracting Windows support for all Traktor based products. Such a shame. I'm now going to have to sell my setup.

Just use a dedicated partition for DJing

I have a Toughbook with a Core 2 Duo/4GBs and it runs TSP2 just fine. Timecode or S4.

Your laptop blows mine away in specs.

Hello,

I use my S4 with Traktor 2 on a VAIO Win 7 (core i3) and I have never got a problem.

I only use this computer for DJing (no internet connexion), like that, no virus !

Yes. ASUS N61Jv worked FLAWLESSLY from day 1. Do the performance tweaks in the stickys' above. Smi777en's advice is inavaluable.
