UGGGGGG! Music folders on external drive is grayed out! I can see and play the songs on my laptop but unable to see through my Virtual DJ application at all, it just doesn't show up. Show hidden files/folders but still no good.

Are you're saying you can get to the files via Windows Explorer and play them but not Virtual DJ?

If so that sounds like a VDJ problem. The one thread I found said the best way to fix this is to wipe the database and re-import, what ever that means , I'm not a VDJ user.

Appreciate the response and yes in explorer i can play the files in xp all though they are grayed out. When I open virtual dj other files that are grayed out in explorer i can view however, not my music files. The files are not hidden either, could it be a permission issue maybe because why would they be grayed out?

It wouldn't be a permission problem since you can get to them via Windows Explorer.

Did you understand what was meant by "wipe the database and re-import" in VDJ? I don't but was hoping as a user that you would know what that meant.

Installed VirtualDJ to see what it looks like.

Are you looking for the music by expanding Computer at lower left then expanding the external drive?

[tyBox]

Yes, that's how I'm looking at it (using my external drive). At one time it was on the left in explorer showing the folders and sub-folders. Now it's on the right in the main window of explorer grayed out, that's why I suspect that it's not the dj appl. If it were to display properly in explorer I'm almost certain it would display properly in virtual dj. I ran a scan on my external, didn't find anything.

Those are hidden files.
Download and run this tool:

It should take care of the problem.
