Hello,
I've created the following script on inquisit, but it does seem to be working. It does not show any errors either tho. Every time I try to run the experiment, the subject window pop up and then automatically goes back to the script (experiment does not begin). And if I try to open the experiment by clicking its icon, inquisit does not open, so I have to first open inquisit, then open the study otherwise it would never open!!!
Do you guys know what I could do?
Thanks in advance.

Remember how I told you all people are either Green or Orange?
^^Well, this machine is going to pick for you and tell us whether you are going to be a Green or and Orange.
^^It can do this because it works kind of like flipping a coin. That’s right, it’s a really special machine and it will decide whether you’re a Green or an Orange.
^^All you have to do is to put your hand on it, like this… If we wait a few seconds the machine will tell us whether you are a Green or an Orange.
^^Are you ready to find out what you are?

Okay, now we're going to do something a little bit different, now I'm going to read you some stories and then ask you some questions. There are no right or wrong answer; I just want to know what you think.
-Press G for Green and O for Orange-

<page explicitplay>
You know when you play at school or with friends?
^^Okay, I'm going to show you some pictures of people and I just want you to let me know which person you would rather play with"

<page futureinteractions>
We're almost done! I just have few more questions. You ready?
-Type Orange or Green, depending on the answer that has been given by the kid

The problem is the presence of a stray quote character in (") in a <page> element:
<page explicitplay>
You know when you play at school or with friends?
^^Okay, I'm going to show you some pictures of people and I just want you to let me know which person you would rather play with"
</page>
Quotes have special meaning in Inquisit, e.g. determining where an item begins and ends as in
/ items = ("Apple", "Banana", "Cat", "Dog")
etc.
A stray quote will throw things of and prevent the script from parsing correctly. Either remove it or escape it properly as in
<page explicitplay>
You know when you play at school or with friends?
^^Okay, I'm going to show you some pictures of people and I just want you to let me know which person you would rather play with~"
</page>
Once you've fixed that, there are further issues:
#1:
<block break>
/bgstim = (break)
/trials = [1=brea]
</block>
should read
<block break>
/bgstim = (break)
/trials = [1=break]
</block>
i.e., you're missing a 'k'.
#2: <page> elements are *not* <trial> elements. You cannot run a <page> via the /trials attribute, you ought to use /pre- or /postinstructions:
<block futinteraction>
/trials = [1=futureinteractions; 2=futinteraction1; 3=futinteraction2; 4=futinteraction3; 5=futinteraction4]
/showmousecursor = true
</block>
ought to be
<block futinteraction>
/ preinstructions = (futureinteractions)
/trials = [1=futinteraction1; 2=futinteraction2; 3=futinteraction3; 4=futinteraction4]
/showmousecursor = true
</block>
and so forth for the other blocks.
#3:
<block preferences>
/trials = [1-4=noreplace(identitycompare1, identitycompare2, identitycompare3, identitycompare4); 5-7=noreplace(attitudecompare1,attitudecompare2,attitudecompare3); 7=explicitplay; 8-10=noreplace(playprefcompare1, playprefcompare2, playprefcompare3)]
</block>
has trial #7 defined multiple times. As before, explicitplay is a <page> element, not a <trial> and you cannot run it this way. Use a regular <trial> with standard <text> elements or a <surveypage> to display the information.
#4:
<block startgame>
/bgstim = (startgame)
/trials = [1=startgame]
</block>
There is neither a stimulus element called "startgame" in your script (cf. /bgstim), nor is there a <trial> called "startgame".
