Problem running web script

Group: Awaiting Activation Posts: 72, Visits: 192	Hi, I programmed and launched an Inquisit script using the web software. When I click on the start page from the computer on which I actually programmed the script, it runs. However, when I try running the script on another computer (Mac), I see the launch page, click on the start button, then a popup window with the Inquisit logo/info appears for about a second and then disappears. The experiment doesn't actually begin. All the images have been uploaded to the server (twice!). Thoughts? V

The script runs on the machine you programmed it on because it references local files on that machine: <item f_pics> /1 = "/Users/zayas/Google Drive/Experiments/Study0_GenAds/Data/Female Ps_ad-screenshots_1-20/Participant 5_ad-screenshot_1-20/Participant 5_ad-screenshot_1.jpg" [...] </item> Of course those file paths do not exist on any other machine. You need to get rid of the path, i.e. things ought to read <item f_pics> /1 = "Participant 5_ad-screenshot_1.jpg" [...] </item> and so forth for each and every external file referenced.
