Compatibility with Windows 7

[liwenna]

If I am not mistaken it's actually the newer e-prime (2.0) that
required a dongle to run.... at least it does at my university whereas
at my previous university we used e-prime 1.2 and the dongle was only
required during installation of e-prime.

But all that aside... I also remember that there were always problems
when installing e-prime due to missing HASP drivers that had to be
manually installed. Download them for instance here:
http://www.aladdin.com/support/hasp/enduser.aspx  (and if you happen
to plan on installing e-prime on a non-internet connected computer,
bring the driver on an usb stick!).

No experience with running e-prime on a virtual xp in windows 7, so
can't help you out on that one. My guess is that it should work, but
do make sure that you verify the timing etc.

Good luck and let us know, please!

Best,

liw

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.
