e-prime & projection system

[Tony Zuccolotto]

Kim,

You are probably running into a change in refresh rate problem, e.g. if
your projector looks OK when you are just showing the Windows desktop
but then does not show up after E-Prime launches and collects it's start
up information then the projector is likely not adjusting to the change
in resolution, color depth, and/or refresh rate that is set within your
experiment.

You should either change the settings on the Display Device in your
E-Prime experiment to match your desktop, OR alternatively change your
desktop to match the settings in E-Prime.   If you have never changed
the settings for the Display Device in E-Prime they are probably still
set to a default of 640x480 16-bit color (which is probably not what you
are running on the desktop and likewise not what the projector is synced
to).

Depending on the video card you are using you may also have the option
under advanced settings for your card to explicitly set the preferred
color depth and refresh rate for each resolution supported by your card.

Hope that helps,
Tony
