input file crashes DirectRT on 1 computer

No, they just need full access/permissions for the DirectRT folder. However, I'm curious--if you simply divide the session into two seperate sessions, will they each run error free on these machines? i.e., as opposed to truncating it.

Just curious because if so, that would suggest the problem is one of system resources. Otherwise it may be an input file issue that only occurs on these machines for some reason.

In that regard, you mentioned tha lab computer is running 2004.3.27--is that the same as on your laptop?

I just checked, and indeed it runs fine if I divide the session into 2 separate sessions. I just can't do that for the real experiment because I need it to randomized trials across all of them.

It worries me if it's a system resource problem (although there's plenty of HD space left, and it seems to have sufficient resources available for all of our other studies). The laptop is running version 2006.2.0.28... Do I need to upgrade the lab computer to the 2006 version?

The DirectRT program is placed in C:\DirectRT on my laptop, and I haven't limited user access to this folder. hmm...

Yes, upgrading the lab machine to the same version that's on your laptop is the first thing I'd try. If you'd be looking at an upgrade fee (jumping from v2004 to v2006), I can give you a free code to test it out for a few weeks first to see if that's actually the problem.
