The c omputer came installed with XP Home Ed. The E-prime web site recommends not using XP with only 128 mb ram, so I installed Win 98. However, Win 98 will not work with such a fast processor without some patches. These patches are available, but I need to contact microsoft, then they send them to me. So, my Question is: what is the problem with running E-prime on an XP machine with only 128 mb ram? I have access to XP pro if needed instead of XP home. THis may be my easiest option. Thanks. -Mark Orr ________________________________ Mark G.

XP is a memory hog. By that, I mean that XP will use nearly the whole 128 Megs just to run itself, leaving no memory for ANY other applications (including E-Prime) to run smoothly. An alternative is to get a memory upgrade (see http://www.pricewatch.com for some good deals); memory's cheap, and I suspect you'd end up being happier having more memory, no matter which version of Windows you choose to run. > The E-prime web site recommends not using XP with only 128 mb ram, so I > installed Win 98.

Message-ID: Greetings all, I'm designing an experiment which involves having participants read viusually presented words aloud. I'm using the voice key on the SRBox to record the RT of the response, but I'd also like to record the actual participant response. In the past I've simply run a tape recorder for the length of the experiment, but I'd like to record short (5-10 sec or so) digital samples at each trip of the voice key instead. this would make pairing the response with the RT much easier. It seems it will be necessary to use a second mic (or splice the output from a single mic) as the SRBox doesn't actually record any audio. Searching the archives reveals no answers. Has anbody done something similar? Thanks for any help. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Breton Bienvenue e-mail: bmb at acsu.buffalo.edu Psycholinguistics Lab phone: (716) 645-3650 X377 Department of Psychology fax: (716) 645-3801 SUNY at Buffalo lab webpage: http://psychling.buffalo.edu Buffalo, NY 14260 personal webpage: http://www.buffalo.edu/~bmb -------------------------------------------------------------------------- From youngdoor at softhome.net Sat Sep 13 08:14:36 2003 From: youngdoor at softhome.net (youngdoor at softhome.net) Date: Sat, 13 Sep 2003 02:14:36 -0600 Subject: sound problem Message-ID: I used the Soundout object and got a error message during running: "Cannot load sound file.
