Processing icon won't stop spinning (MAC) Processing icon won't disappear (PC)

Hi,

Do other (like the examples) experiments work? Otherwise it makes little sense to discuss what may or may not be the problem in your particular experiment.

Notice that a mac keyboard works perfectly fine on a PC as well (if it’s USB, partly a Microsoft design btw). As far as I know, you’re the only one around to run E-Prime on a Mac :) You could, of course, pick up an ancient PC with XP or WIN98SE installed with a solid 100 Hz CRT monitor over at most 2nd hand shops and it might be better for your experiment even – I generally take the IT helpdesk’s discarded junk for my lab. I’m just saying this because it might, in the end, be that OSX runs about as well on a “PC” (i.e. a non-mac) as Windows does on a Mac – does its job, but no bells or whistles, while the alternative is cheap and for many reasons of timing, preferred.

Best,

Michiel

Hi everyone,

New problem (I'm still having the issue with the keyboard if anyone has any new thoughts). When I start the experiment, the processing icon remains on the screen. It just sits there spinning. Mind you, this is on the Mac and it won't move past the first screen when I press the Spacebar which is supposed to allow it to move on.

But, I've noticed that it does this on my PC as well. I can run the experiment but I have to move the cursor to the side as it doesn't seem to disappear any more. Has anyone else had this problem and been able to resolve it?

Best,

Mel
