Update
I was trying to get the program to run faster so I ran it as a AdministratorSo Don't run this program as a Administrator (English settings?) I had all kinds of problems it crashed a lot & kept going back to default German language,,,, it crashed when closing the program & after the crash it chanced it back to German ,,,, so I changed it back to run as a normal program & it worked a lot better

Sorry its a bad pic!
The program is like this for over 1- minute
Note - it happens every time I use the program & with any first Control box I load up after I active any Key it stalls than I active another key & this happens, After this happens the program recovers & everything works like normal

I still have the
3. Click on any button - Program comes up with a "Devices (Not Responding Error)" & If I Click on another button the Program locks up with a see though White screen comes over the program
But w all the new setting its now less than the Acer Laptop (which is about less than 1-min) & that's acceptable !

looks like It was also caused by the Windows 8 "on screen Keyboard" for the Touch Screen Display
Windows 8.1 & very slow Keyboard Control
I need to do some more testing for the "On screen Touch screen control" to see if it was worth buying another separate On screen monitor? only problem is their all Big 22"
Please give this a Thumbs up if this helps?

The Answer is "B"
I fixed it !
The Problem was the Windows 8 On-Screen Touch Keyboard. The solution is to Disable it
Web Page - "How To Disable Windows 8 On-Screen Touch Keyboard"
http://www.nextofwindows.com/h…on-screen-touch-keyboard/
*************************************************************************************************************************************************
Turns out, it’s powered by a windows service called Touch keyboard and handwriting pane. Stopping this service will be in result of disabling the on-screen keyboard.
1. Press Win+R, type “services.msc“, and press Enter to bring up Services window.
2. Scroll down a bit until locate the service called Touch keyboard …
3. Double click it, first to stop it if it’s running, and then change the Startup type to either Manual or Disable to prevent it from auto-starting next time when computer starts.
The on-screen touch keyboard will not bother you anymore as soon as you stopped this Touch keyboard windows service.
But it comes with a side-effect that’s worth mentioning. Because this service is also tied with Handwriting Panel pen and ink feature, you won’t be able to use the handwriting if you turn off this service.

I hope this help somebody I still don't like windows 8

This is what Happends
1. Program load up- Everythings working Ok
2. I Click on Command Box - Its loads up & everything ok
3. Click on any button - Program comes up with a "Devices (Not Responding Error)" & If I Click on another button the Program locks up with a see though White screen comes over the program
Note- I notied that when my progrm were very small it was a very short Pause & than the program finited loading up But when the program became Bigger & with my window 7 Acer laptop it up over 30-Seconds before it recovers but than it ran ok (It bother me but I could live with it )
4. But With my new Dell laptop with Windows 8 it takes over 3-Minuites to 5-Minuites before it recovers ( this is way too long & it worries me, Something is wrong)

A. I'm thinking the program has a lot of garbage in it? is thier a way I can clen it up (I have up to 400 saved programs)
B. command Box size buttona are 20x20 & Page 1 to 3 are full of buttoms & the last two are also are full of buttons

Please Help (Problem is fixed Now , Solved it)
I Just installed the newest Dmx2 on a new Dell touch screen laptop & I search the internet for Hours to try to fix it but with no luck
1. The problem is when I use my Keyboard - I hit a bunch of keys (one at a Time) to control My lights & the response time lags way behind the keyboard control & its slow & abot 3-seconds later it finishes , Its not a direct output like my Acer windows 7 laptop I think its a Dell or Windows 8 problem or maybe the touch screen control?
2. I tryied under Keyboard properties the two Properties to the fastest settings (Repeat Delay - Set to short & Repeat Rate to- Fast )
3. I also turned off - Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Ease of Access Center\Make the keyboard easier
& I turned everything to off4. Turn Com port setting (bits per second) to the fastest #
5. Hooked up another Usb Keyboar & it also did not help
Also note - Enttec Dmx Open Dmx Usb
Nothing worked Again the Keyboard has some kind of buffer system in Windows 8.1 which is really slow & is not a Direct output & is very slow Keyboard respones time
A. So is it a Windows 8 or 8.1 problem?
B. A Dell or Dell Touch Screen setup problem?
C. Dmx control 2 Software problem?
Can anybody Help?

Thanks
all the information so far is a great starting point from the ground up!
I will have more questions later it might be to early to ask them now I will be looking into it when I have time (Its like a new album it takes time to see if you like it or not Lol)
but I did not see a screen w Buttons Control? does it exist or how is it replaced? & is their a pull down menu for keyboard control? Right or Wrong - I'm looking at the new software from the point of view of Dmxcontrol 2
Thanks

For me it's this question: I can use a 10 € DMX cable. I know it works perfectly and robust. Maybe I might have to climb up a ladder two or three times to set it up - but thats' all.
Ok Other Options?Has anybody used the in House cable from the Back (mixing board control) to the front of the stage?
I have a show coming up in a big night club (The Myth live, MN) & we are one of the warm up bands so we have low priorities, I'm guessing but it Looks like its 100ft to 150ft away from the back to the front of the stage
1) will they have a Extra DMX cable to use? I'm pretty sure its "NO we Don't"
2) Ok they will properly have a spare 3-pin Mic Cable so what's the pro & cons w using it? it might be my only option???????
I'm also concerned about other people hooking up their device into my plug they gave me to uses (Shit Happens) & can that damage my Dmx device, Computer? anything else I should be thinging about?? has anybody used tape to cover plug to prevent anybody else from plugging into it (Just Thinking out loud) ?
3) I can run my own cable if its Long enough & were to run it w all kinds of crazy fans everywhere (Tripping is my biggest concern (I have some rugs & tape) I'm Really GREEN when it comes to how to get this information from the Bars or Events & even the Stage setup somehow the main acts find this information about the in house lights (Addressing) or the Lighting guy just gets their early enough to plug into the House light & figures it out (at some point in time that will be my next step but not at this point in time but I need to start figuring this out! should I in my program leave a bunch of address open at the beginning for in house lighting????
Side Note - Homework - When I go to concert, I try to find answers, I ask the people who run the boards questions But I rarely find any answers most say "I run the Board that's it, I don't know anything"
wireless is not a option for this concert since I don't know if I want to go in that direction
Thanks

I have not seen that one!
Do you need to buy two of Them? I don't like the words that they used [*]1 x Wireless DMX Transceiver(Transmitter & Receiver) [*]1 x Power Adapter
should it be "Or" ? "Transmitter & Receiver"Are you using it in a Noise environment? & how do you like it so far?
I think that as more of these e-bay units are being sold & used the confidents will go up! I know that setting up for a warm up bands w wireless is a Huge advantage & I could setup my computer anywhere w out the hassle of begging the in house people for some help which they tend not to know anything!
See next Post

Ok so far we got
+1 (It Works)
anybody else + or -
-
ok
Thanks
1) So If I start setting up the Beta version ,,,,,, I will not loose any of that work? when the Final version comes out or should I wait,,, it Looks like it would take a lot of set up & programming before I even could use it
2) so I can have both programs loaded on my Laptop Computer w no conflict between the two? & both programs will not overlap any system files, directories & any thing else, Etc.... & so one program will not effect the other one?
Good Luck

China
I know & this is a huge factor in reliability
can I trust it? it would be a huge factor now & if it does not work nothing will work LOL & every show I would be thinking will it still work? if I did buy a china one I would have to take it apart & check every solder joint & it would be a huge trust factor & I would be saving a lot now & would I get Burned later I would always be thinking this & their no support from China stuff , I using a lot of China stuff now I have mixed reviews
Which one do you Buy? & did you have any noise problems / & Channels? & do you use it in a Noises environment (Live Music is very Noise, a wedding would not be unless your In a noise city, cell towers Etc....)
Good luck

Anybody using Wireless? & what do you think using it, Pros & Cons & anything else about it or any good links about it?
If Yes, Did you have any Problems w using it? & would you do it again?
If No, but thinking about it & what's your biggest worry about using it , Cost?
I guess I have been looking at it for a long time but I just don't know about all the other wireless out their in the Air & everybody else in the bands & everybody's using wireless & if causing interface problems!!!!!!!!!!!
The DMX lighting people are not jumping into it yet?
I been looking at this one, China & it has a lot of options (Front & back View & it comes w the both the Transmitter & Receiver)
2016- Edited out this Old Pic & Added the new one & this is the one I use (A bunch of Them)

Basic things to try - Just General Notes - Might Help
1) Terminal Resistor at the end of each run
2) Loose Cable connections will also cause this problems
3) I have found a bad solder Joint in one of my RGB controls boards - I had to resolder it (Note - The China stuff can have a lot of bad solder joint or even missing parts I found solid state components that were not even solder in )
4) computer goes into log off mode & stops the DMC use device from working or screen saver mode
5) check your "Output Plugins" (Config file for Usb device) open the "Confige Select Plugin" Check your "Scan Rate" - for your USB interface - I had this problem too , I found that my devices worked at 25msec (Safe setting) & at a faster rate I had all kinds of blinking problems I would check this first
6) Check voltages - Ac & DC
7) Never forget to look at the mechanical thing first - Cables , loose connectors, small Ect...
Tools
1) Make up some Teminal Resistor w LED - they can be a life saver (I have them at the end of each run)
2) Power amp or slitting - helps solve daisy chain problem & Cables
