MatLab on Windows 7 Tip

In order to run MatLab on Windows 7 you will need to reset your theme to 'Windows Classic'.  If you don't, you will only see the splash screen before the app quickly shuts down:



Notice I have a SuSE Linux desktop background ;-) with a carbon-fibre feel.

Andrew --

Can I guess you're running an older version of MATLAB? Your work-around is not required when running recent version.

Unweaving the Rainbow, by Richard Dawkins

We are going to die, and that makes us the lucky ones. Most people are never going to die because they are never going to be born. The potential people who could have been here in my place but who will in fact never see the light of day outnumber the sand grains of Sahara. Certainly those unborn ghosts include greater poets than Keats, scientists greater than Newton. We know this because the set of possible people allowed by our DNA so massively outnumbers the set of actual people. In the teeth of these stupefying odds it is you and I, in our ordinariness, that are here.
