e prime crashes if subject presses response button twice

[Jasmina Bakic]

Hi,

Mich and Maartje, thank you for the advices and the wits. I am still
working on it …

To answer your question, Mich, I can actually make it crash intentionally,
I just have to press one of the two possible response keys on the keyboard
several times,  and it crashes right away. So, unfortunately, I don’t think
it is the problem with pressing shift or windows button.

My two  “ participants” report that this is, of course, totally
unintentional, and probably very difficult to control, especially after a
while, when you really get into the task.

The response message that I get is : 11042: Filename on ImageDisplay has
not been set

On ImageDisplay I had set the two possible responses in the Response
Options session under “allowable”...
