| Hello, A researcher I am working with would like to know if E-Prime can be run on a Mac under Bootcamp or Parallels. Do you have any tips on successful use of E-Prime on a Mac? Thanks in advance. Mark

E-prime runs without any problem on my MacBook Pro using parallels (latest beta 3150). I guess it should also work using bootcamp. I don't know whether reaction time recording is as accurate as on a normal PC (or in bootcamp) but running E-prime in parallels is great for developing and testing scripts.

| Hi, we had LOTS of trouble getting the USB key recognized by the ePrime installer within Parallels. We tried many ways (new HASP drivers, insert before/during startup, etc etc). Finally, our tech guy had a great idea. He installed ePrime on a clean (real) Windows machine. He then used something called "transporter" (?) available from the parallels people -- as far as I understand, this software will create a parallels image from a Windows machine. So, it is Windows software that runs on windows and then makes a Parallels/Mac compatible image. We were then able to use this image within parallels on the Mac. And, viola, since the image had a "verified" version of ePrime, all was good. I now can write experiments, debug, analyse data, etc all on my mac. of course: the timings are totally "off" (cannot collect reliable data). But, life is better. one other problem: occasionally a running experiment will crash a bit mysteriously.... When this happens I need to move my debugging efforts over to a proper Windows machine (to tell if it was ePrime, me, or parallels that was causing problems). good luck! -james

| Another note is that E-Prime likes MacBook Pro machines with more than 1GB of memory. E-Prime has not crashed on me since I updated the memory.

I have the same problem: parallel pc won't recognize the hasp; always complaining that another application is using it; have no idea whether there is anyway to disable the hasp in mac so that it can be used by parallels.
are there new solutions besides 'pararrels transporter' ?

If you have a program that uses an Aladdin Hasp system (little dongle that plugs into computer) then you'll need to quit the process on the Mac side of things before you can install E-Prime in Parallels. The process is called "aksusbd" and can be found in the Activity Monitor in /Applications/Utilities/
Alternatively, you can setup Parallels to boot off of the bootcamp partition. Install windows and E-PRIME in bootcamp and then use that same installation through Parallels when you do not want to reboot the computer.
Hope this helps.

I’m an Open University psychology student, we have to use ePrime for one of our assignments. I bought a new iBook so I could run Windows, I bought a copy of XP and Parallels, and installed both and ePrime.
When I attempt to open a file it comes up with the following error message and does not let me go any further. Can anyone help? (I’ve attempted to use WINE/Crossover, but it says the package is unsupported. I have yet to try running it under Bootcamp and I cannot get Bootcamp to partition my disk without crashing.)
Error
Device Type Not Found
The experiment file being loaded contains one or more devices of type Display that cannot be found on your system.
E-Studio cannot load this experiment file until the Display Device has been installed on your system.
thanks, Jonathan
