Hi, please show the full startup messages from the Matlab command window.  The most likely reason is that PIVlab_settings_default.mat is not found in the available directories.

Please enter the following commands in Matlab after you have started PIVlab and show the output:

which PIVlab_settings_default.mat

path

clear;load (which('PIVlab_settings_default.mat'),'sequencer');exist('sequencer','var')

Thanks for your kind and prompt reply.

1.The start message is as follows:

2.What the command window shows when input the images is as list just now:
3. AFTER run the codes you shared, there are many lines about the path, and the last few lines are:

4. The PIVlab_settings_default.mat and Pivlab_GUI.m are in a same directory.

I redownload the zip files, and the images can be input. So I think maybe there are some problems about the pivlansettingsdefault.mat.
