random presentation / DirectRT execution

[liuj23]

Thanks jarvis,

Yes, I can either to avoid using DirectRT altogether (in which case I could do as you're suggesting and assign a BGR of 0 and and a WGR of 1) or fix the problem that MediaLab is having running DirectRT.

For the latter (fixing the problem that MediaLab is having running DirectRT), here's the problem:

When I open MediaLab, and I run that experiment (which is an .exp file containing a .que file containing a .csv file containing a .txt file) for 1st time during the day, it freezes (so I press CTRL ALT DEL to end-task). But it doesn't freeze on subsequent runs. I think that I may have to open DirectRT first before running the MediaLab experiment (?)

Anyways, I wanted to use DirectRT because I wanted to put a blank page between the words (to act as a delay). I saw a duration (d...) parameter in MediaLab to keep words on the scene for a certain duration, but no function for blank spaces (?)

If it's not too much of a hassle, could you zip the folder and attach it? i.e., the version which freezes but only when run as the first session of the day?

Thanks, here's the zip. The experiment is "fragment1.exp"
