screen/visual interface disappearing windows 7 (screenshot)

So I got a ddj-rb and haven't been able to even use it properly yet bc it's just been one problem after another. I got a used macbook pro to use bc my old thinkpad "tablet computer" barely meets the requirements and wouldn't run the free version, but the macbook suddenly needs a new battery very urgently and shuts down randomly. So I got the thinkpad to actually work once I had the actual controller, but all of a sudden today when I opened it, (and still after rebooting), the fx/pads/beatgrid part of the screen, and basically everything around the little like platter, including the cue/play buttons, keeps disappearing, occasionally flashing for a second, almost like an old video game when it's having trouble rendering things on the screen and they glitch out and/or disappear and reappear. here's a screenshot 

Anybody have any ideas? wth would make it do this? smh I'm starting to think God/Satan/Cthulu/whoever just doesn't want me to use this program/controller! So frustrating! Had ths thing 5 days now and haven't been able to even mix with it for more than a few minutes! Also, when I load a track, it shows the track info and the waveform, but that's it, nothing else shows up.Thx
