Hello everyone,  
Im trying to build my experiment in which I have use 108 pictures. However, after a few pictures later, the psychopy stops performing. Also, this error comes up:

File “C:\Program Files\PsychoPy3\lib\site-packages\psychopy\visual\basevisual.py”, line 945, in \_createTexture  
raise IOError(msg % (tex, os.path.abspath(tex)))  
OSError: Couldn’t find image imagestroop/008\_a\_a.jpg; check path? (tried: C:\Users\asus\OneDrive\Masaüstü\image\_str\imagestroop\008\_a\_a.jpg)

##### Experiment ended.

I am sure that all the pictures are in the file and their excel file is also correct too.  
What can you suggest?  
Thank you.

I used to meet the same problem, and I have tried many ways to solve it.

1. the version of your psychopy: it may work if you use the latest version;
2. you can copy the .py and other esssential ducuments(such as your 108 pictures) to another new folder, and try to synchronize again.

Hope you can try the second suggestion first~

Do you have a folder called imagestroop in your Experiment folder image\_str?

there was a " \_ " in one of the bottom rows of the excel sheet which contains the images’ name. So I deleted it and the problem solved
