Display Runtime Error

[Edward Justin Modestino, Ph.D.]

Hello all,

I have just started with E-prime2 with a new laptop (Toshiba Satellite L855 running Windows 8).  I have been following the tutorial in the "Getting Started Guide".  Everything ran smoothly up to page 38, even generating a script for the example task.  However, when I attempted to run the experiment (page 39), I was given the following error:

 

Runtime Error

The following error occurred:

An error occured while attempting to open the device.

Device name: Display
Error 0x000003ec

Message: 'Unable to set display mode: 0x80004001'

Line 958

Error number 10051

 

Output window:

Error: 0x000003ec

Message: 'Unable to set display mode: 0x80004001'

 

I have looked at the script.

Line 958 of the script reads:

Display.Open DisplayDisplayDeviceInfo

 

I have gone through Chapter 7 of the guide through the Troubleshooting section (starting on page 89.)  There is nothing there to help me.  I have searched this list for this error and been unable to find it.  Perhaps I am using the wrong terms to search this archive.

 

Can someone please tell me how to fix this display error to get the program working?

 

Thanks so much!

Ed Modestino

It looks like you may need to change the screen resolution properties. Maybe your laptop can't display the default resolution that eprime is trying to display. Go to: Edit>Properties>Devices>Display>Edit... and see what other options you have for the number of pixels to display.

Where is this "Edit>Properties>Devices>Display>Edit"?

 

In Windows 8 to change the settings, it is at Control Panel > Appearance and Personalization > Display which no longer allows you to select display size in pixels, etc., it allows you to choose from the default of Smaller-100% or to chnage it to Medium-125%, with custom sizing options using a percentage of a ruler (9 point Segoe UI) using Windows XP style scaling or not.

 

If I go into E-Prime2, Edit > Properties, I am at the script properties, as the script is still open.

 

So, where are you suggesting I go to this "Edit>Properties>Devices>Display Edit"?  In E-Prime2 or the Windows 8 settings?

 

Please do elaborate.  Thanks!

Sorry, I meant Edit>Experiment... (inside Eprime).

Thanks.  In the E-Studio of the task, I went to Edit> Experiment > Devices tab: I changed the "Match Desktop Resolution at Runtime" from NO to YES.  Now it works!

Hi all,  

I am having a similar issue to Ed. I receive the same error:

"An error occurred while attempting to open the devide

Devide Name: Display

Error: 0x000003ec

Message: 'Unable to set display mode 0x80004001'

Line: 1269

Error Number: 10051"

However, when I edited the Display resolution to match the desktop resolution at runtime, it did not resolve the issue. Would anyone happen to have other troubleshooting suggestions? 

Thank you, 

Sara

[David McFarlane]

Sara,

You might also try explicitly setting the E-Prime resolution to
something else, e.g., 800x600, or 1024x768, or 1280x800. Look at
settings in Windows to see what resolutions your system might allow.

Beyond that, you could also fiddle with the color bit depth, etc.

If all that fails, you might submit this to PST Support.
