    MediaLab & Cyberball2

    I've downloaded and installed the Cyberball2 program from the website www1.psych.purdue.edu/~willia55/Announce/cyberball/htm, but when I follow the 'readme' instructions which ask me to specify the setting '4pl ostracize other' then enter participant ID '1', nothing happens. When I check in Windows Task Manager, it claims that CyberBall is indeed running, but nothing I can do will bring it up on the screen for me. I attempted to insert it into MediaLab following the 'readme' instructions with a similar result. It asked me to click 'continue' to proceed and then asked me to specify which setting I wanted and an ID number, then it skipped right to the typical finish of MediaLab, telling me to tell the experimenter that I was done with this part.

    Any ideas on why the program is running somewhere where I cannot see it?

    Thanks for you help,
    Ren

    I have the Cyberball program, which installs fine on half of my XP machines. However, on the others, I get the following error when I run the software:
    Run-time error '13'
    Type Mismatch

    We don't support Cyberball anymore because we haven't written the code for the most recent versions. I would suggest contacting Kip Williams at Purdue directly to find a useful source for debugging issues. Off the top of my head, I can at least tell you that Type 13 usually occurs when a program is expecting one type of variable but gets another (e.g., letter vs. number, interger vs. a decimal component).
