I'm trying to run Matlab R2009b 32 bits on a Windows 7 (Ultimate 64 bits) system, the installation went fine but now it won't open, however Matlab.exe runs in the background. I've tried the following without success:
1. turning off Aero Glass Interface
2. playing with the various compatibility modes (XP, Vista, etc.)
3. running the program as an administrator

thank you

Do you use VPN?

Thanks for the answer, unfortunately I have a VPN and it's the only way I can connect to the license server! I guess I have to go back to a version before 2009b.

2009a should be ok.
That bug exists in 2009b and 2010a.
It seems to be fixed in 2010b prerelease, you could try that that too.
