It may be that some other version of the engine is already installed on the machine and causing a conflict. Remove any traces of it by running the cleanup utility available via https://www.millisecond.com/support/uninstall.aspx and then try again.

It may also be that your system is affected by a specific bug in .NET Framework 2.0 (SP1). In this case, Microsoft provides guidance and a hotfix at https://support.microsoft.com/kb/952677 .

Thank you.  I have tried the first suggestion, and ran it on the desktop.  I just wanted to make sure it was still worked on the desktop before I tried it on the web.  Now my intro page, which is a jpeg format doesn't show the image, which did prior to updating Inquisit.

See below for the script.


<expt>
/ preinstructions = (stimulusitem)
</expt>

#1: A jpg file is not a HTML page.

<htmlpage stimulusitem>
/ file="example1.jpg"
</htmlpage>

#2: Why are there two <expt> elements, both of which do nothing except display an instruction page? You should use the <expt> elements that already exist in the script, not add new ones.

I use HTML page, because I often include images in the intropage.  For example, before respondentsactually begin the IAT, I usually have a slide having them read a vignette withimages.   

I use <expt>, when I only include text.  How would I embed words and images in asingle page using only <expt>?

Again, the prior script worked fine, until I ran the cleanuputililty today.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.

It's fine to use <htmlpage>. But <htmlpage> is supposed to display a *.htm / *.html file. A *.jpg isn't one. Create a HTML file, put your text and pictures in it as needed and use <htmlpage>, /preinstructions etc. to display that page as needed.

For an example, download https://www.millisecond.com/download/library/TowerOfLondon/

Thank you.  Now everything works. 

Awesome!
