Desktop visible during a questionnaire

[jarvis24]

Hmm. Never heard of this before. This happens the first time on any machine, or just this one? If the latter, have you seen it happen again?

[katherineinus]

It happened on a number of the lab computers (4 out of 5), and all only the first time..

[jarvis24]

Hmm. The first time ever and that's it, or the first time you run a session on any given day (e.g., after turning the computer on and off)?

[katherineinus]

I cannot be sure about the first time ever (certainly it was for me looking at the course, and I have checked it a lot, but you never know what participants see) and it was also the first time run after starting up the computers - although some had been on for about half an hour by the time I tested them, and it did not happen on one of them.

Does your experiment involve any other programs besides MediaLab?

[katherineinus]

it also involves word and direct RT. I did see the desktop within programs as well, not just between (i.e. within medialab questionnaire).

Can you zip your experiment folder and send it to me at support@... so I can try it here?
