If the speed of exercises Piece-work, On-the-road, or Ball is too slow or too high, please click on Tuning in the Options/Supervisor menu of COGPACK to adapt the speed to your hardware.
Under Windows 7 in some cases COGPACK graphics are only displayed correctly, if the theme "Aero" is deactivated. To deactivate this theme: Open Theme Settings by clicking the "Start" button, clicking "Control Panel", clicking "Appearance and Personalization", clicking "Personalization", and then clicking "Theme". Under Theme, select the "Windows Classic" theme in the drop-down list, and then click "OK".
Under Windows Vista in some cases COGPACK graphics need the color scheme "Aero" to be displayed correctly. To activate this color scheme: Right-click on the desktop and choose "Personalize". Click the "Window Color and Appearance" link. Then in the next screen, click the link near the bottom for "Open classic appearance properties for more color options". In the color scheme list select "Windows Aero" and click on the "Apply" button. If "Windows Aero" is not offered in the color scheme list, your system does not fulfill the requirements for Aero (e.g. Aero is not offered in the Vista Home Basic version).

Please mind: COGPACK Professional and COGPACK Home are designed for training but COGPACK DEMO is not. The demo demonstrates only 4 tasks for any type of task where the standard versions present 12 to 80 tasks on a variable or random schedule. Adaptive trials can't be demonstrated with the DEMO because number of tasks is too small. Some feedback features and the option of presenting comparative scores at the end of each trial are completely shut off in the DEMO. Furthermore the DEMO doesn't save results to result databases Gfile, EWfile and Sfile nor to report-files with one exception: exercise Comparisons a (Vergleiche, Vergelijken, Confronta, Comparación, lik/ulik, Comparações) does. So only results from exercise Comparisons a can be listed and plotted in menu Results/Profiles etc. The File/Indications menu is a preliminary edition, some parts contain not yet translated German text in all language sets.
