e prime crashes if subject presses response button twice

[Michiel Spape]

Hi,
Just to say: this one completely went over my head - you're absolutely right, that'd certainly crash e-prime! I doubt it's the problem here, though, the only one who repeatedly activates "Stickykeys" is my cat, who likes to sleep on top of my keyboard (especially when I'm trying to use it).
Best,
Mich

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
