OS (e.g. Win10): Windows 10
PsychoPy version (e.g. 1.84.x): v2020.2.10
Standard Standalone? (y/n) If not then what?: yes
What are you trying to achieve?:
Open an experiment file programmed on another computer. The experiment file i am trying to open was programmed by another person on another computer (with the same PsychoPy Version), where it works normally. However, when i try to open it on my system (which is required for the data collection), it does not work.
What did you try to make it work?:
tried opening the file on other computers to check if the problem was with my machine. I checked the colors used in the experiment (since the last line of the error report - see below - refer to the color parameter). None of these worked.
What specifically went wrong when you tried that?:
the following error message:
“PsychoPy encountered an unhandled internal error! Please send the report under “Details” to the developer with a description of what you were doing with the software when the error occured”
The report is as follows:
“Traceback (most recent call last):

Any help would be much appreciated.
