Hi,

I am using Psychtoolbox on Matlab in order to present some images.  
every time I try to open a screen I get this screen that stays for a few seconds:

 ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/psychtoolbox/original/1X/96f0af2141cf0fef7fbd65fb99ced8e9eba68294.jpeg)  
only after a few seconds my script starts.  
I didn’t find a way to stop seeing this screen every time I run the script. I tried to install psychtoolbox again and it didn’t solve the problem.

This is the script:

% Clear the workspace and the screen  
sca;  
close all;  
clearvars;

% Open an on screen window  
[windowPtr, rect] = Screen(‘OpenWindow’, 0, [127 127 127]);

% Reading the picture  
image = imread(‘C:\Users\Desktop\Project\MyImage.jpg’);

% Creating the texture with the picture in it  
texture = Screen(‘MakeTexture’, windowPtr, image);

% Drawing the texture  
Screen(‘DrawTexture’, windowPtr, texture);

% It shows the result on the screen  
Screen(‘Flip’, windowPtr) ;

% Wait for two seconds  
WaitSecs(2);

% Close the screen  
sca;

If someone know how to get rid of this message, I would love to hear…  
Thank you so much!

So what’s your opinion about the community membership and priority support? Surely you’ve read the info about that, given that it is advertised to you on the start screen?
