v2010 freeze with repeated runs
[I][the following thread has been edited by the moderator for brevity and attempted clarity due to the length of the exchange--just trying to make it easier to follow. Also, another thread was mixed in here regarding an independent issue, i.e., the RTRR function within DirectRT v2008--those posts were collected and are now located here: [URL]http://www.empirisoft.com/Support/showthread.php?t=5642[/URL]].[/I]
[I]___________________[/I]
[I][Sandra, see below][/I] and I are working together on a project and are having trouble with DirectRT v2010 freezing. It seems random. I am attaching the final csv file for you to look at. Hopefully you can tell me what is wrong. Would it have to do with the computer? Again, sometimes the file runs fine and collects data--and sometimes it just freezes.

trouble shooting test files
There is nothing immediately apparent to me in your input files that would cause any kind of crash. I would do one of two things. I've created simplified versions of one of your input files (experiment1.csv). One uses the exact same structure and stimuli on every trial--i.e., to rule out any kind of stimulus specific issue (e.g., see [I]experiment1[U]c[/U].csv[/I], attached). If this version produces no freezing, then it is likely a stimulus or experimental structure issue--interacting with some system or hardware issue. If the latter is the case, then please try running [I]experiment1[U]b[/U].csv[/I] which uses different stimuli as in the original but is [I]structurally simplified[/I] (it avoids all but the primary trial type).
If one or both of these test files can be run over and over again without a freeze it would take us a long way toward isolating the cause of the freeze.
Finally, I know you've done so, but do please double check to make sure any given machine is running DirectRT 2010.2.103 or later.
v2010 freezes even with the updated exe file
I'm also running the DirectRT on Window 7, and from the day 1 I started using this program, it's been having the freezing problems (at least twice a day). And last week, I found this thread and downloaded the executedrt.exe file and replaced the older one.
But today, the program froze again - twice.
Apparently, the directrt has a compatibility issue with Window 7, so I wonder if I can resolve the problem if I run i from xp-mode (haven't tried but I heard that Window 7 allows me to run program from 'virtual xp'??)
Experiencing same problems with v2012
Hi,
I'm having the same freezing problems described above using DirectRT v2012.4.145. One thing I noticed in the TrackPerformance text file was that I had 24 error messages that say either:
"Elapsed Time: 628439ms, block 0, trial 1011, stim 9, Error -2005532222, Automation error, on line 90, during CreateSurfaces of Form DDFullScreen"
OR
"Elapsed Time: 628521ms, block 0, trial 1011, stim 1, Error -2005532222, Automation error, on line 80, during FlipScreen of Form DDFullScreen"
These messages apparrently preceeded the freezing. Any idea as to why I'm experiencing this freezing?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
