Help diagnosing "drawing error"

[MSpape]

Dear Sarah,

This error comes up whenever some other programme causes E-Prime's
drawing to be put in the background, or something. Here's a few common
reasons:
1. The participant presses the start (or "windows") key on a PC
keyboard. This causes the start menu to pop in the foreground, and E-
Prime crashes - always. It is an easy error to make for any
participant, and though I tried a few programmes, the cleanest way is
to use a screw to flip the button out!
2. Some messages cause "balloons" or other pop-ups that may take over
E-Prime's screen, this may also cause seemingly randomly occurring
drawing errors.
3. Virusupdates, even if the virus scan itself is shut down, may also
cause this. Both for this and 2), check Windows system log to see what
happened when E-Prime crashed.

Hope this helps.

And hi all, I'm back, just migrated from the old E-Prime list.

Cheers,

Michiel M. Spapé
