"ImageDisplay Internal Error, Marker: 2000"

[Jen Keller]

Hello,

I know this error message has been discussed before, but I need some
additional guidance. We are running a dot probe task using jpeg
images. Our eprime program runs very smoothly until about 2/3 of the
way through the program when it shuts down and give us this error
message "image display internal error, marker:2000." From reading past
posts, I have gathered that this means it eprime can't find the jpeg
images. However, the jpeg images are, indeed, located in the same file
as all the previous images. I have even saved them and re-saved just
to make sure they are there.

Does anyone have any other suggestions about what might be going on?

Thanks in advance.

Best,
Jen

if you are running eprime 2, then jpegs should be fine.  just double-check that they're really jpegs, not some other image format masquerading as jpegs.  to be sure, you might open it in Paint, then SaveAs... .jpg.

if you're running eprime 1.x, then you'll need to open them in Paint and SaveAs .bmp, since earlier eprimes only allow .bmp images.

Hi,

If it means E-Prime can’t find the pictures, as Jen says, then you can be almost 100% sure the filename is incorrect. I take it the programme references an attribute which contains the filename, yes? Whatever the case, just try a little inline before the imagedisplay or whatnot calls the slide. Let’s say the attribute is called PictureFilename, then insert this inline at the beginning of the trial:

Debug.print “I’m going to show “ & c.GetAttrib (“PictureFilename”) & “ now”

And just read which file (or often, lack thereof) it crashes on. I added “ now” so that in the unlikely event E-Prime crashes because it can’t find “this file.jpg “ instead of “this file.jpg”, you should be able to see it in the debug output.

 

Lastly, and mainly as an aside, make sure you have actually the extensions added. For some reason, Windows default Folder Options (go to explorer>tools>folder options) have “Hide known filetypes” on by default. Do yourself a favour when switching this off and switch “Show hidden files” on! It’s one of the first things I do after reinstalling windows.

Cheers,

Mich

Ha Jen,

Any luck with the pictures yet??

For what it's worth... image files created or modified on a mac are
known to sometimes (and definitely not always) give problems of the
2000 kind... (see for instance this, rather messy, topic:
http://groups.google.com/group/e-prime/browse_thread/thread/a72bcd05a221c7dc/6827f84673878d96)

Any chance your files have been macified?

Best,

liw

hello,

 

thanks so much for your reply. i was out of town for a week, so i forwarded the replies i received to my colleague. i'm not sure of the current status. i was definitely using a mac, however,  to edit the images so it is quite possible that they have been 'macified.'

 

thanks to everyone for their help.

 

best,

jen

Welcome back in town ! ;)

The mac thing is likely it then. Opening and 'saving as' with for
instance gimp on a pc did the trick for my files back then.
