in E-Prime, there seems to be something malfunctioning in the driver. Have you
tried running the experiment, with the SRBox, on a different computer? <o:p></o:p></span></p>

color:#1F497D'>I tried to create an experiment like I suggested below and
(though I have no SRBox in my office) added the SRBox, BUT disabled the PST
Serial Response Box driver. This caused the exact same crash as your
screenshot. Re-enabling the PST Serial Response Box Driver in device manager
caused my experiment to run normally (though, of course, I couldn’t get
very far without the actual PST box). So, you might try uninstalling this
particular driver and reinstalling it. Perhaps there’s a little installer
for it in the E-Prime setup?<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D'>Not much, just the following:
have you actually added it to Experiment Properties
(edit>experiment>devices>add SRBOX, make sure it is actually on),
rather than, for instance, a SERIAL object? If it is, you could turn it off and
on (all lights on the SRBOX should light up) and see if the lights turn off
when you start the experiment. Make it a blank experiment, change nothing in
the SRBOX properties, and see whether adding only one text display with
infinite duration and only the SRBOX as input object turns off.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D'>Other than that, I can’t

<p>Hi all,<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p> <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p>We're experiencing some problems with a serial response box we have recently
puchased (model 200A). When trying to run an experiment in E-Prime using the
box we get an error message numbered 10051 (see image SRBox1.jpg). We are
running E-Prime 2 on a Windows XP computer.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p> <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p>The SRBox is connected to the actual port (and not to a serial-to-USB
adapter). <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p> <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p>The drivers are installed on the machine, and the device is well connected.
We couldn't locate any conflicting ports, and we have full privileges on the
machine. We also tried changing the "bits per second" property for
the port (under device manager) to 19,200, but it didn't help.<br>
<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p>Attached is a screenshot of the device manager (SRBox2.jpg). As you can see,
the SRBox appears under "Other devices", and not under
"Communications Port". Could this be the problem? What might cause
it? <br>
<br>
However - when I tested the box using the SRBoxTester, everything looked OK
(see attached image - SRBox3.jpg - which was taken while holding keys 2 &
3) . <br>
<br>
Any suggestions? <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p> <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p>Thanks,<o:p></o:p></p>
