i recently bought the student edition of matlab and installed it
into my computer. the installation went though but now when i try to
open the program it tell me that there is an error and matlab must
shut down. i am putting the correct documentation cd into the
computer while trying to run matlab but it still will not open. what
should it do.

First of all you must give some more information about your problem.

-What operating system and version har you using? (Window 98??, Windows 2000...??)
-How much memory do you have in your computer? (<64Bbyte???)

-What is the error message?? Its real importent to remember it/write
it down to make it possible to solve the trouble. Especially as we
do not can use your computer and try it.

Good Luck!

It wouldn't surprise me if this is the well-known WinXP problem that is
documented on www.mathworks.com and in previous posts here. Not sure
though, because I don't use WinXP so I don't really pay attention to those
posts (except to notice that different people keep asking the same
question over and over).

Yes, it's probably either the Windows XP issue or the Pentium 4 issue. The
latter is discussed in the Technical Support Guide to the MATLAB Student
Version here:

http://www.mathworks.com/support/tech-notes/1300/1315.shtml

The former ... hmm, it should probably be added to the guide. Anyway,
that's described here:

Wow-

That WinXP version is tough. Right now, our department is considering
requiring the student version as a textbook for one of our courses, but if
we're going to be micromanaging our student's OS's, we'll have to take that
under serious consideration.

What's the Snafu, if you don't mind me asking??
