Hi all,  
  
My code uses Kb functions to record key presses while playing sounds. More specifically, there are portions of my code when it stops for several seconds, and I want to be able to record key presses while this happens. I am also interested in subject's reaction times, so I need to be able to measure millisecond reactions in response to rapidly occurring stimuli.   
  
For these reasons, I have thus far been using KbQueueCreate, running the code on MAC OS. This works. However, the EEG operating system I now need to use only runs Windows, which is giving me an error along the lines of: "KbQueueCreate functions only work on Mac OS systems."   
  
Please help!  
  
Thanks, Julian
