Compatibility with Windows 7

[kommunaut]

Hi! - in the near future I will have to use an older E-Prime Version
that requires a USB-Dongle (HASP) to run. Did anyone happen to try
that with a virtual XP machine (e.g. XP-mode) running under Windows 7?
Any problems integrating the Dongle?

Also: Did anyone already try out Version 1.1.?

Thanks a lot in advance!!
Stefan

As a researcher I am quite annoyed that every so often Microsoft comes along and insists I upgrade my already prefectly working system with inferior software that not only screws up my timing but also exposes me to all sorts of malicious code. I am firmly prepared to resist this new iniative to covert toWindows7. It is already two years late, and every time Microsoft has pushed for a new operating system, starting withWindows2000, it has made my life worse, so I cannot rely on any promises about reliability or efficiency, and I am through with debugging their crap code for them. My advice for anyone that seriously wants good timing is to run Eprime 1.x on any pre-Windows2000 OS.

I remember we had E-Prime running on Pentium machines and, testing this with the E-Prime time-testing tools showed that they performed much better than anyWindowsXP system. Although that may well be because the XP lab-machines were 'helpdesk supported', who did not like shutting down processes such as anti-virus, the amount of background processing was much lower on the 98SE machines as well, which, I believe, greatly improved timing. Besides, PST wasn't quite sure they supported XP up until XP was actually getting quite old and Microsoft discontinued supporting 98.

I would never do this for running subjects, but I might well want to to this on my development machine so that I could have all the advanatages of Win7 for most of my work and still do E-Prime development all on the same modern machine.  Then of course I would copy the result to a good old XP machine for running subjects.
