Problem running Matlab 7 rev.14

[harshagarwal]

I have installed Matlab 7 rev.14 but the program does not starts i.e. when I double click on the icon the Matlab window opens and at the bottom left of the window it shows "initializing",but as soon as this word goes thew window abruptly closes and no error is displayed.
I am using WinXP with SP2.

Thanx in advance

Hi,
Try these solutions:
1] Update Graphics card drivers and check whether MatLab opens or not.

2] If the above soultion doesnt help, right click on the MatLab shortcut icon and click "Properties". Here in the "Taget" field, at the end of the filename matlab.exe, leave a SPACE and type -nojvm and click "Apply" and "OK". Now run MatLab using that shortcut icon. Check whether it opens or not.

3] If the above soultion doesnt help, follow the steps provided here:
