<div>It may be to do with the way your program deals with responses; I've dealt with an issue in the past where, if the response wasn't what e-prime was expecting, it fell into an interminable loop and then crashed. Is E-prime doing anything with your responses other than simply recording them? For example, is it using them to set event codes, to determine feedback, to choose the next stimulus, anything of that sort? If so, it's worth having a look at the bit of code that does that, and ensuring that there's a catch-all "ELSE" function, so that if the feedback is something other than what e-prime was expecting, it still knows what to do with it.</div>

To: E-Prime<br>Subject: Re: e prime crashes if subject presses response button twice<br><br>Hi Jas,<br><br>Are you using a Eprime response box, or are you using the keyboard of<br>your computer?<br>If you are using a keyboard: When participants accidently press the<br>
shift button repeatedly (or some other key combinations), this will<br>activate 'StickyKeys' (or other functions) in Windows and will cause<br>Eprime to crash. You can deactivate these automatic key functions<br>through the Control Panel > Accessibility Options > Keyboard.<br>
I'm not sure of this is your problem, but if so this may well help.<br><br>groeten,<br>Maartje<br><br>On Nov 4, 5:26 pm, Jas <<a href="mailto:jasmina.ba...@gmail.com" target="_blank">jasmina.ba...@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br>
