  Hi Yvan,
  It is possible that OSX version 10.8.5 (Mountain Lion?) is too old for OpenSesame to run. You will need to update to a newer version of OSX (which can be done for free) to run the latest version of OpenSesame, or use an older version of OpenSesame.
  Sorry for the inconvenience, but it is really difficult to package OpenSesame for older versions of OSX, when the OSX version we make the OpenSesame.app on is newer.

  It appears though as if this problem is inherent to pygame. Have you tried switching to the psychopy backend?

  Thank you for your uber-fast reaction. I tried psychopy but that didn't do it. Now on to upgrading the OS. Will be in touch!
