Eprime on Windows XP

[Jacob Anderson]

Leisha,
We are currently using Win98 for our experiment presentation(Eyetracking, 
Autonomic Response, EEG, ERP data collections), and haven't run into too many 
problems.  Generally, I have a gut feeling the Win98 is a bit less stable that XP, but I 
often wonder if Win98 might contribute to better timing and acurracy because the 
operating system itself is less demanding (no data to back this up, and probably isn't 
true).  We have continued to use Win98 mainly because we use a Digital I/O card 
that gives us an extra 16 bits/triggers for communication from our E-Prime computer 
to our DAQ computer.  Our Digital I/O has an emulation software feature that 
simplifies communication between the I/O card and E-Prime, but it is only 
compatable with Win98, and not WinXP.  We will eventually have to switch over to 
WinXP at some point because Microsoft is not supporting Win98 any more, and I 
thought that E-Prime 2.0 wont run on earlier Windows versions.  I would advise 
upgrading your computer to XP, if possible, because it is the industry standard 
Windows environment.  

My two cents,
Jake
