Ok, after a bit of thought I was wondering if it was possible to maybe use something like Bomes to thin out the amount of data going to Traktor.
Maybe someone with a bit of experience on Bomes could comment?
This problem does not effect me. I am on Windows Vista 64-bit with two MIDI controllers with MIDI-out and have had no problems in a LONG time.
Have you tried Moonie's test config? The more people who can test it the better, you can't really say the problem doesn't affect you until you've given it a go.
I haven't had the problem in months either, but that's because I always dj out with midi out disabled and hardly ever dj at home for extended periods of time.

It could definitely be the RAM.
Processor: Intel Core 2 Quad Q9000 / 2.0 GHz
64-Bit
Data Bus Speed: 1066 MHz
Chipset: Intel P43 Express
6.0 MB L2 Cache Memory
6.0 GB DDR2 RAM
2x 320 GB 7200 RPM hard Drives
Running with
Audio8 DJ, VCI-100 FWv1.3, MIDIFighter, through Bome v1.8 (I think, the newest one), with Traktor Pro v1.1.2
I'll load up Moonie's test config and see what happens.
Bet you it's not the RAM, and even if it is it's hardly an effective fix for the majority of us on laptops.
Let us know how you get on.
That page does a horrible job of explaining midi vs hid and it hardly offers any a solid explanation of why the VCI-100 is crashs when other controllers can handle doing exactly the same thing without a problem using the exact same windows stack.
Every time Traktor opens it defies the laws of midi and pumps the stack with some serious amount of midi spam, but windows holds up without a problem - if that webpage were true than windows would regularly crash when people open Traktor.
it seems to work fine for people in this thread running vista
