Hi there
I am running a simple verb generation task. I woudl like to use the "voicerecord" feature in Inquisit to record each verbal response to a simple list of serially-presented word stimuli. However, when attempt to set my input device as "voicerecord," my program will freeze as soon as it attempts to present a stimulus that requires a verbal response (I need to Ctrl-Alt-Del out of the program at this point). No .wav files are created. I have posted the script below (ignore the instructions, I am simply trying to get responses to three stimuli per block at this point). Any help would be much appreciated.

^^ Your task is to
say aloud the color in which the name is printed.
^^ Please do so as
quickly and as accurately as you can.
