Hello, can anyone tell me why "beginresponseframe" and "beginresponsetime" are not a known atributes for (mine) Inquisit 4? 
I need this to allow subjects to respond as stimuli are presented on the screen, but I can't do it. Inqusit don't recognize it. Can I use somethning else?

You must be talking about <likert> or <openended> elements. /beginresponsetime should validate just fine in <trial>s in the current release (4.0.4.0). It does not in <likert> / <openended> due to a known bug -- you can use the legacy /responsetime attribute instead as in:

<block myblock>
/ trials = [1=mytrial; 2=mylikert; 3=myopenended]
</block>

<trial mytrial>
/ stimulustimes = [0=a; 5000=b; 10000=c]
/ beginresponsetime = 5000
/ validresponse = (57)
</trial>

<likert mylikert>
/ stimulustimes = [0=a; 5000=b; 10000=c]
/ responsetime = 5000
/ position = (50%, 75%)
/ anchorwidth = 2%
</likert>

<openended myopenended>
/ stimulustimes = [0=a; 5000=b; 10000=c]
/ responsetime = 5000
/ position = (50%, 75%)
</openended>

<text a>
/ items = ("A")
</text>

<text b>
/ items = ("B")
</text>

<text c>
/ items = ("C")
</text>

I was talking about Lexical Decision Task from Inquisit Task Library. There's no likert or openened elements.

I reinstall my Inquisit and it helps. Thanks for answer.

As already mentioned in my previous reply, you ought to use the latest release -- 4.0.4.0. You almost certainly have an outdated version installed. Update it, please.

Already did it. Everything works now. Thanks.
