Tobii Extension and Windows 8

Tue Dec 4 12:46:49 UTC 2012

Hi,

As far as I know:

* the latest version of EP2 is release 10;

* it 'should' be compatible. 'Ish?

* as long as it's windows 7 x86 version you're talking about. I can confirm
that various features, most annoyingly the serial port communication, does
not work in x64 windows. You can find out which version of windows is
running by going to start>control panel>system and under System Type. Of
course, you could always install x86 windows on a x64 processor and as long
as you're not handling large RAM, it should be fine.

Best,

Michiel

Actually, in attempting to install EP 2.0.8 on a Windows 7 computer, it told
me it's NOT compatible with Windows 7. HOWEVER it does seem to run.

If it gives you trouble, though, the compatibility mode is a neat trick:
find the program settings from the Desktop or control panel (I forget
exactly where I found it - Windows8 allows you to search for it) and go to
the Compatibility tab.

yes it is supposed to - I'm just stuck in xp world (if it ain't broke, don't
fix it) and didn't think much when replying to Alison ... more likely to
find win7 drivers, probably

So EP doesn't work on Win 7?

Alison, I just looked at the PST info on e-prime OS compatibility, the link
I posted. I don't know about Tobii issues. If you can get XP drivers for
your new laptop then just format and then instal XP. If no XP drivers, then
maybe trade with a colleague the new laptop for an older one with XP?

Thanks Peter - do you mind if I ask a follow-up? 

I should have mentioned that I'm running EPrime in compatibility mode with
XP (using the Windows setting for the program). It does allow the program to
run, up until the Tobii is required. So perhaps it's some interaction
effect?

I have an experiment that was built in EPrime 2.0.8 and runs on a Tobii
eyetracker just fine using a Window 7 computer (I don't know the 32/64 bit
right now). However, I just got a new laptop (Windows 8, 64-bit) and am now
receiving an EPrime error about TETConnect. You can bypass the error message
and it runs the first part of the experiment, until it needs to engage the
Tobii and then it shuts down.

Any ideas whether this is a Windows 8 issue or a 64-bit issue? One I can fix
by installing a different OS; I don't know how to fix the 64-bit issue if
that's the cause.

Thank you! 

Alison
