Ah, I didn't even think to do that. The sounds work fine when they are in a new e-prime file! It must be something in this program other than the sound that it doesn't like. I don't understand though, it's a pretty simple experiment. It just plays some sounds, shows some pictures, and has a few text displays. There was some code because it is an fMRI study and needs to connect to the port, but I tried commenting out the code in case that was the problem and it still was messed up. I keep getting this error though. <br>

Thank you guys for the replies! I've looked for whitespace and could not find any. The names are very short and simple and I highlighted them to see if there was any spaces. Anything else it could be? Does changing the buffer size impact this? I am totally stumped as to why this won't work other than it being a weird window's 7 problem with e-prime 2.0<br>

Among the exotic characters to look out for is whitespace (e.g., space, tab) at the end of file names. *You* will not see that white space, but the *computer* will, and will insist on matching the names using whitespace and all.<br>

Are there any exotic characters in the name of the file. Try renaming it to a short name.<br>
Also make sure to include the file extension properly. Windows explorer doesn't show the file extension by default, so you should change this setting to make sure you see the complete name. And be sure not to use double extensions in explorer. A see this very often because some people add a second extension when the first was not visible. I think this is not a problem when you just select an existing file with using the file selection dialog box.<br>

I did try what you said and while I'm still having issues, I think I'm making progress. The error message I get now after removing all of the unreferenced objects is, ' Run-time Error (Line 802) -999: Unable to find the sound file specified' But I know for sure I am using the same name as the file in my folder! Do you know what else could cause this error??<br>

I would try to run the same script, but with all audio completely removed. Just to make check if it is related to the sound. You could also try to create a very simple test script that only has a start-up screen and a sound object to play the audio (using the same settings as the original script). The idea is to isolate the problem/crash to get an idea of what is going on. Because the crash immediately occurs when the script is started, it could be related to the initialisation of devices.<br>

While I run the script, e-studio crashes. No error messages pop up. The program starts to run, then a white screen appears, and then the entire program dies :/<br>

Does e-studio crash while editing, or are you having troubles when running the script? Any error messages? Is it reproducible?<br>

Ah, thank you! That did sort of work and I was silly not to check there first.<br>
<br>
Now though the actually program crashes and I get a windows error when I run my experiment! I know e-prime crashes a lot, but it has done it 5 times in a row and I can't figure out how deleting unreferenced objects would do this.<br>

perhaps there is a soundout object (or slide with sound) in the 'unused items' section that was not configured properly. Just remove it permanently to get rid of the error,<br>
