Dear all,<br><br>If any of you is having problems with sound and Vista or Windows 7, this may be useful. <b>This is the reply I have received from PST regarding this problem:</b><br><br>Here is what you should know about running E-Prime 2.0 and 1.x on
Vista and 7 machines. This article provides more details on running 1.x
on Vista/7 machines: <a href="http://www.pstnet.com/support/kb.asp?TopicID=3108">INFO: E-Prime
1.x Support for Windows Vista</a>. Until formal timing tests can be
performed on a number of Windows Vista machines running E-Prime, PST
encourages the use of E-Prime and Windows Vista only for design and
testing purposes. Subject stations that are collecting data should be
directed to Windows XP and Windows 2000 machines.<br><br>I suggest that
you keep using E-Prime 2.0 because the only version of E-Prime that has
been tested and verified on Vista/7 machines is version 2.0.8.90. While
PST has not officially published timing results for Windows 7, E-Prime
2.0.8.90 and later versions have been approved for Windows 7 x86/x64,
Windows Vista SP2 x86/x64, and Windows XP SP3 x86 with the exception of
Windows 7 or Vista paradigms that require sound startup latency values
of less than 30ms. We have delayed publishing the timing results while
we continue to work on consistent audio timing. PST is currently
verifying a variety of sound drivers and recommends the use of Windows
XP for experiments with sound related timing until further notice. PST
intends to provide a more formal statement about Windows 7 shortly.
Please check this article for updates: <a href="http://www.pstnet.com/support/kb.asp?TopicID=4026">INFO: Windows 7
support in E-Prime</a>. <br><br>All of this said, I was able to run
your experiment without any crashing on a Windows 7 machine. This leads
me to believe that you can make some changes to your computer that
should stop the crashes. Here are some steps to try:<br><br>1) Ensure
that you have the latest version of E-Prime, which is 2.0.8.90. You can
verify this by opening E-Studio and going to Help - About E-Studio. If
you want to download the latest version, you can access the download via
the Download/E-Prime/E-Prime 2.0 Release Candidate links to the left.
Make sure that you download and install the version that matches the
license you purchased (i.e., E-Prime 2.0 Standard or E-Prime 2.0
Professional). <br><br>2) Please use CodecConfig to check the codecs on
your computer. This article contains instructions on this as well as
links to codecs you may want to download and install: <a href="http://www.pstnet.com/support/kb.asp?TopicID=3162">FEATURE:
CodecConfig provides ability to choose codecs used for Movie and Sound
rendering</a>.<br><br>3) Disable or shutdown any background applications
that may be causing a conflict. Here is an article with more
information on that: <a href="http://www.pstnet.com/support/kb.asp?TopicID=2621">INFO: How to
use MSCONFIG to troubleshoot machine configuration and reduce background
applications</a>.<br><br>
