Thanks to everyone who responded to my questions regarding running
experiments and programming experiments with Eprime on various Windows
operating systems. The consensus is that Eprime 1.1 was designed to
work with XP & does so very well, also that it's been out for a few
years and is no longer in beta testing. One respondent shared my belief
that Windows 98 is easier for Eprime to dominate completely (XP seems
loaded with "processes" that are always running), allowing greater
accuracy with time-critical measures. He also suggested that I could
update my hardware, but wipe the newer OS & replace it with Windows
9X. <br>
<br>
Another respondent suggested that both programming the experiment and
running it should be done in the same environment, to avoid introducing
errors caused by inconsistencies between various OSs.<br>
<br>
I need to tightly control timing, so I still favor 98. But if tests for
timing accuracy with Windows XP produce good results, I may go with XP.<br>
<br>
Thanks everyone.<br>

<pre wrap="">You should do all the programming in the same environment that it will be run in. Ideally on the same computer even, that way you can pre-assess all the timing etc and know exactly how it will work out at run time.
We do all our programming on XP w/o any problems.

Subject: Re: Eprime on Windows XP
Great. Thanks for letting me know. What about programming using an XP operating system? Any problems there? I'm still programming in Windows 98.
Thanks,

<pre wrap="">Hi Leisha,
We run E-Prime version 1.1.4.1 on Windows XP without any problem. As
far as I know, this is not in beta testing anymore.
Kind regards,
