It works find on my Windows 8 PC, however one group of people who are piloting for me are using Windows XP, and there are two problems... First in the digit-span task no numbers appear in the box when you type them. They register, and if you press "next" it works, but the typed numbers are invisible. Second, when the final rating test finishes, inquisit hangs on a blank screen between the final rating page and the post-instructions page. If left long enough a dialog box to save the data file to the hard-drive pops up... but that's it. Is there any good reason why this might be happening? I'm at a bit of a lose for what to do to be honest.

In general, the behavior you describe with "inquisit hangs on a blank screen between the final rating page and the post-instructions page. If left long enough a dialog box to save the data file to the hard-drive pops up" would point to a network connectivity issue.
