    screen flashes between each trial (case 5751)

    Hi, I just started using Medialab on a new machine (Vista), and between each trial, the screen flashes the background color. This didn't happen on my old machine. Is there some setting I can change so that it will seamlessly change from one trial's image to the next, without the flash?

    thanks.

    Does it do the same thing with the basic sample that comes with MediaLab? If so, then look to see that you have other programs closes, the Windows task bar not set to "always be on top" and maybe even closing the widget bar that hangs out on the right side of the screen. Basically first thing I would check for is stuff that might be competing for screen time.

    Yes, it does it with the samples as well. I closed down all other programs, including the widgets, and the windows task bar is not on top. Any other ideas? I really appreciate your help!

    What version of MediaLab are you running (i.e., 200x.x.x)--I'll check it out here on Vista and see if it does the same thing with the basic sample.

    I'm running Medialab 2008.1.22. Thanks.

    Hmm.. Seems to work fine here--at least the basic sample that comes with MediaLab. Not sure what this could be. Did you change the colors in the preferences at all, or are you using a quickstyle anywhere? When you say it changes to the background color, what color is that? And what color does it go to when the next question resumes? I ask all this because normally (by default) those colors are the same.
