I couldn't start MATLAB in winxp - Balaji Srinivasan - Dec 22 15:34:00 2003



Hello,
I've just installed Matlab 6.1 in Windows XP. But it doesn't
start. Whenever I start it an error report comes up which
says "matlab has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are
sorry for the inconvenience." I also changed the WIN XP theme to
windows classic as was sugested by Mathworks. That doesn't work. I
need some help.

Thanks in advance

Bye
Balaji

Balaji,

1. The first option is to start MATLAB with a -nojvm flag as follows:

matlab -nojvm

This can be done in a DOS shell or you can right-click on MATLAB's shortcut
and add the '-nojvm' flag to the end of the Target Field.

PLEASE NOTE: Since starting MATLAB with the -nojvm flag disables the Java
Virtual Machine, certain MATLAB features, such as the MATLAB Editor, GUIDE
and the Array Editor will not work because they are written in Java and
therefore require the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) in order to run.

That said, this would enable you to see if it's a Java issue.

2. The second option, which will allow you to use MATLAB with its full
capabilities, is to install a Java patch from Sun Microsystems. Fortunately,
Mathworks already have this available via FTP:

ftp://ftp.mathworks.com/pub/tech-support/solutions/s27293/JREpatch.exe

To login to the FTP server use ' anonymous ' as your username and use your
email address when prompted for a password.

After running the patch, MATLAB's JRE will be upgraded to JRE v1.1.8_006.
This patch also includes an updated version of hg.dll, which has been known
to fix MATLAB startup problems with Windows XP. You should now be able to
successfully launch MATLAB.

Hope this helps,

Jeff
