e prime crashes if subject presses response button twice

[mrtj]

Hi Jas,

Are you using a Eprime response box, or are you using the keyboard of
your computer?
If you are using a keyboard: When participants accidently press the
shift button repeatedly (or some other key combinations), this will
activate 'StickyKeys' (or other functions) in Windows and will cause
Eprime to crash. You can deactivate these automatic key functions
through the Control Panel > Accessibility Options > Keyboard.
I'm not sure of this is your problem, but if so this may well help.

groeten,
Maartje
