Direct RT v2012 and v2008 --> does not display anything (case 15027)

[twixx_87]

Hey,

I am trying to prgram an implicit attitude measure using DirectRT and I was confronted with several problems. The first issue I could already solve was that DirectRT seemed to have problems with the .csv files I saved with Windows 7. I then opened them in open office and saved them again - no more error messages now. That's the good news.

The bad news is: when a file is supposed to be opened, there is a black screen for a few seconds and afterwards the next file starts, as if the previous file had worked properly. There is no error message or anything, DirectRT just does not seem to do what the file is saying. I have between 40 and 70 trials in each file, so even if it just did not display the pictures or something the black screen would have to be displayed much longer. Perhaps you can tell me what is wrong here. I tried it under Windows XP, DirectRT v2008 as well as Windows 7, Direct RT v2012 - same problem, no matter which version. Not even the instructions are displayed - nothing. I would really appreciate your help as I am in urgent need to start my experiment before the end of the semester.

Thank you very much.
Best,

Ricarda
