Sound Issues

Tue Nov 15 19:26:16 UTC 2011

Thank you both again for the helpful replies. It seems that I just made a
very stupid mistake. (i had my jpeg files entered as picture.jpeg instead
of picture.jpg lol).

However, think I do have another 'real' problem with my experiment.
Everything is runs the way I want initially but then I receive the
following run time error.

Run-time Error (Line 1616) -999: The operation to load the sound timed out
Size: 220500
Available: 0
Duration: 61126531
BufferFull: 220500
Presented: 11026
Presenting: YesWorking: Yes
TimeStart: 39980
TimeOut: 49981
TimeFirstPresenter: 0

I'm running this on Windows 7 and I have e-prime 2.0. I read on the pst
forums that this causes the issue but there doesn't seem to be a solution
other than running the program on XP. Is this still the case? (the thread i
saw was from 2008).

Thank you!!!
