MediaLab Version 2008.1

[pmor4272]

Hi,

To the best of my knowledge I have installed the 2008.1.0.33c version (that is what it the file is named in my downloads folder). However, I have encountered the freezing problem as well. I'm not sure after how many items it occurs as I'm not sure how to gather this information. However, when I encountered the problem, I would Cntrl Alt Delete and it would occur after I ran my experiment a second time (a different condition with the same amount of questionnaires and items, just different information).

Thanks

It discusses different releases of v2008.1.33--some "lettered", some "non-lettered". The lettered versions came later and tended to work better on Vista and XP. The downside was that these newer install packages included a newer version of a file called evideo.ocx (typically written to one of the Windows system folders). It was the newer version of this file (1.19 instead of the older 1.11) that caused trouble for some XP users. Consequently, we have now made both the original ml2008.1.33 package available for XP users and ml2008.1.33e available for Vista and Windows 7 users.

Note that as of January 2011, Version 2010 is also now available and so far seems to work very well on XP and Vista and Windows 7. We got rid of the evideo ocx file and reworked a lot of code from scratch to handle media and to avoid memory issues that were causing these problems for some users with v2008.

If this is at all confusing, please contact us at sales@ or service@ empirisoft.com with questions.

PS. Note that even the ml2008.1.33e package had some issues for Windows 7 users. These issues were occasional freezing (usually during larger experiments where memory leaks could grow) and in some cases where videos were interrupted. If you are a MediaLab v2008 user and a Windows 7 user and think this may apply to you, these issues have been resolved in MediaLab v2010 (specifically, in v2010.2.19)
