Technical discussion about Matlab and issues related to Digital Signal Processing.
|
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 -----Original Message----- From: Balaji Srinivasan [mailto:] Sent: Monday, December 22, 2003 3:35 PM To: Subject: [matlab] I couldn't start MATLAB in winxp Hello, I've just installed Matlab 6.1 in Windows XP.
