Error in function KbQueueCreate: Incorrect argument type supplied

I have a trail making task which was working until my computer installed an update and now I’m getting the following error:

PsychHID(‘KbQueueCreate’, [deviceNumber][, keyFlags=all][, numValuators=0][, numSlots=10000][, flags=0][, windowHandle=0])

I’ve been digging around in the forum and found that it may be something to do with the version of Python but I cannot work out from the solutions provided how to fix this (I am admittedly not the most computer literate person). So is anyone please able to provide me with an idiot proof explanation of how to resolve this?

Thanks in advance!

Just to clarify I am using a Windows standalone installation and all the instructions I can find are for those with psychtoolbox installed via Matlab. Am I going to have to install this in order to get Psychopy working? If anyone could help I would really appreciate it!

KbQueueCreate

Please could you show the your keyboard code or a screenshot of the most likely keyboard component to be causing the issue?

[KirstyB]

Thank you for your reply. I have no keyboard component in the experiment as it is a mouse response rather than key response. Is it likely to be in some part of the custom code?

Does this help?

Dear developers, This week, I created a new task in using PsychoPy Builder 2021.1.1 installed using Anaconda on Windows 10. It was working fine on my local machine. Sometime between then and now, I updated the packages in my Anaconda environment and inadvertently updated psychopy to version 2021.1.3. When I saw this, I immediately downgraded back to psychopy 2021.1.1. When I went to work on my script today, I kept getting the following error message whenever I try to run the same task. I also …

Since you aren’t using Ubuntu

Can't access preferences or run experiments on Ubuntu 20.04

Hi. I’ve been trying to install PsychoPy on my Ubuntu 20.04 laptop. Installation process (PsychoPy, wxPython and PsychToolBox) was easy but the problems started afterwards. The first thing I noticed was that PsychoPy was not on the program list in the Ubuntu’s „main menu”. It was strange because last time I’ve installed it on Ubuntu, it was there. The program starts when run from the terminal but it has a glitch instead of the icon. [image] When I try to access preferences I get the following …

Unfortunately not, I did come across these when looking for an answer and the solution seems to be around changing the version of Psychoolbox however I am using the standalone Psychopy (I don’t have Psychtoolbox installed separately) and therefore can’t use this solution
