    Problem with Displaying Instruction Text on Screen (case 3032)

    I am running DirectRT on a number of computers for my study. The text for all the instructions and stimuli are fine (centred and displayed completely) on all of the computers except one.

    For one of the computers, there is a problem with the display of text for some aspects of my experiment on the screen. Though the stimuli is centered and displayed completely, the text for the instruction sets appears shifted to the left of the screen and is cut off (not displayed completely).

    I was wondering how to fix this. Does this possibly have to do with the screen resolution, the program DirectRT, or possibly with my screen hardware?

    Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

    consistently displaying instructions

    The source of the problem might be any, all or none of the following. DirectRT styles: Make sure that the styles for the experiment are copied along with the experiment to the problematic computer. Monitor: some monitors have offset buttons which might be the source of the issue, or it might have different resolution settings. Computer: computer set up for multiple monitors (creates misalignment). Hope this helps.
