Thread: Following the First Tutorial

    Following the First Tutorial

    Hi,
    I've being trying to follow the On-Line tutorial (MediaLab v. 2008) to learn how to use the software. To run the first sample experiment I'm supposed to open Sample1.exp. I follow the steps in order:
    Run -> Select and Run Experiment then I go to C:/MediaLab and double click on Sample1.exp.
    The software then sends an error: Run-Time error '75': Path/File access error.
    I also tried a different option (questionnaire), but I only got a different type of error.
    I can't figure out what's the problem. How can I proceed?

    Thanks!

    If this is a brand new installation, then that's a very odd error to get. Hmm. Have you verified that the files do in fact exist there--e.g., if you go to "My Computer" on the desktop and navigate to "C:\MediaLab\Samples\Sample1" do you see sample1.exp, selfesteem.que and intro.pps in there?

    Yes, I'm sure. The steps I follow are the following:

    Run/ select and run experiment

    my computer -> local disc C: -> MediaLab folder -> Samples folder -> sample 1 folder -> double click in sample1.exp

    It is the only file I can see in that folder when following these instructions... then, I get the error.

    By the way. When using Windows Explorer I see those three files: intro.pps, sample1.exp and self-esteem.que.

    If you right click on the Samples folder (in Windows Explorer) and select Properties and then Security--can you verify that you have full user control of the folder and files within it?

    Ok, that's the problem. I don't have full control over the folder. I'll have to ask the administrator to activate it. Let me try it and I'll let you now how it goes.
