Sound files, Crashing, and Windows 7 (not as catchy as sun, sea and sangria) Update??

[Michiel Spape]

Hiya,
No idea, having no Windows Vista/7 - Eprime combination (which I think PST doesn't support anyway - I expect the common advice people will give you is "get XP, despite it not being supported by Microsoft), nor E-Prime2. Despite that, you mention "Standby or Hibernation" should be off but *only* mention you turned off other things. Now, since I do have Win7 at home, I know it sits in a fairly awkward position of the configuration panel - indeed, I had to especially look it up on the Help thingy, and how often do computer-geeks read manuals, despite their liking for shouting RTFM? Anyway, so just to ask:

-          Have you indeed turned off "Sleep Mode" (otherwise known as hibernation)?
Furthermore, when you say "this only happens in Eprime2 in Vista and Windows 7, do you mean, "IF (EPRIME 2 && VISTA && WIN7) THEN CRASH"? That is to say, it doesn't happen in EPrime 1? OR, it does not happen in Windows XP? On the same computer? So, no, it may have happened to me before that RefreshClockTest didn't run for me on a Win98SE computer running E-Prime 1.2, but that's not what you're after, I take it. If it is, though, it turned out I actually hadn't changed all the power options/schemes to "always on", screensaver OFF (not blank) and hibernation OFF.


Best,
Mich

Dear all,

I have dowloaded (from PST support) the latest version of Eprime2Prof in a Vista PC and the experiments are working fine. Before, there were stimuli presentation delays (when using audio files) or the experiment crashed. However, I cannot run the RefreshClockTest in Vista or Windows 7. When I am trying to run the RefreshClockTest, a message keeps popping up indicating that the Standby or Hibernated functions are enabled. I have disabled/turned off all that can affect the RefreshClockTest (e.g., anti-virus, screensaver...) but still the message pops up. This only occurs when using Eprime2 in Vista and Windows 7 (with XP the RefreshClockTest works fine)...Has this happened to you before? I have also asked PST but I know they will take some time to respond...wondering if you have gone through this before...Please advise. Thanks.



Regards,
Lidia
