I've just installed Matlab on a new PC, but the program fails to
start. Upon starting up the program there is a momentary splash on the
screen of the Matlab start-up window and Matlab program showing up
briefly in the Task Manager under Processes. However, these then both
vanish and Matlab appears just to abort its start-up.

I've removed all firewals so there no problem with licence
authentication and tried reinstalling the programe, but that makes no
difference. There are no obvious promblems in Event Viewer and other
than that there is no other apparent diagnostic information. Grateful
for any suggestions.

many thanks,
Neil

Operating system is XP and it's Matlab 2007b.
Thank you, Neil

I have the same problem on vista with 2007a and b. I click the ML icon and a black, DOS type box is briefly visible followed by the splash screen. The splash is only visible for a split second, then nothing. I have found if I just keep clicking, usually on the third or fourth try I can get the splash screen to stick, and ML to start.
