kfevre,

Do you have your list set to "Reset at beginning of each Run"? Make sure that this option is *not* checked.

kfevre,

Hmm, you may have me stumped. Just to review, you have one list (let's call it ImageList) with 100 images in it. It is set to Random selection, and does not reset at each run. You pull 10 samples (i.e., "levels") at a time from it, and repeat this 10 times for a total of 100 samples. If that is the case then you should get each image exactly once (assuming that the list really does hold 100 unique images), if not I do not know what is happening. If it were me, the next thing I would do would be to set ImageList to Sequential and make sure that everything at least works then. If it fails to work as Sequential then I know the problem is not in the Random selection, and if it does work then I start rethinking how E-Prime random selection works.

You could do the randomization in another program, one created by programming yourself, or one created in for example Authorware. Then read in the list and use the sequential mode.
