Has anyone else (on an Enterprise version of Windows 7 preferably with no control over updates/admin rights) experienced the "Inquisit Runtime Window 0" as labelled in Task Manager freezing on script abort? E.g. using the http://www.millisecond.com/download/library/Tutorials/ Consent Form Demo, selecting 'disagree' aborts the script, but a blank window hangs and cannot be aborted using Ctrl + Q. A force shutdown must be completed using Task Manager (Ctrl + Alt + Del) on the Consentform.script.iqx. Aborting the Inquisit Windows Runtime 0 also works, but after waiting for a time for Task Manager to identify the Runtime as 'Not Responding'. I did not have this issue last week, however it is a new week and it is possible Windows Update ran and now some sort of conflict is occurring. More details: A data file is created with the disagree response. ConsentformScript.iqx properly loads in Task Manager as well on script abort, but cannot be accessed as the frozen Runtime screen prevails. The issue only occurs for "script.abort();" and there is no hanging/freezing when the survey is completed and ends without a "script.abort();" (e.g. selecting Agree for the ConsentformScript). Ciao for now, Jeff

The Runtime Window does not freeze if I first open the script with the "Edit" button, Run from Inquisit toolbar, and select the response that results in script.abort. The Runtime window freezes if I open the script, select Run from the Subject and Group Codes prompt, and select the response that results in script.abort. Jeff

Definitely a bug; unfortunately I can't think of any workaround in case you need to terminate an entire <batch> of scripts. If only a single script is involved, you could use /stop and/or /skip attributes as an alternative to script.abort().
