Greetings! And it gets even worse... I went to the trouble and cost of upgrading to Windows 7 Professional X64. I then downloaded the programs necessary to run XP Mode in a Virtual PC. This took time but all went well... and my desktop looked for all the world like XP. I was apparently able to install R14 without problem. However, when I went to run it the first time... I got a "License Manager Error -103". Reading up on that eroor... I looks like MATLAB either doesn't like the Virtual PC or detects "multiple users"... and I can't log out of Windows 7... as that turns off the Virtual PC. Needless to say... I am not a happy camper!

Best wishes
Derek
