Unable to Start Matlab
Show older comments
I had downloaded and installed Matlab R2015a in widows 7 enterprise (64 bit). I am however unable to start MATLAB. when I click on the Matlab icon the splash screen comes up and goes away almost instantly. I had initially resolved this issue based on the below solution which I had found on the web, but that does not work now. How should I proceed to fix this. Thanks!
Solution which once worked but no longer works for me:
- open control panel>system>advanced>envirionmental variables
- click new under your username variables
- name it MATLAB_RESERVE_LO and set it to 0
- logout and back in, start matlab (it will work :o)

@YUVRAJ RAWAT,They will help you. We have no idea how to help you. All we know is that you're using a 6 year old version of MATLAB (R2015a) and it won't start for some reason. That's not much to go on. Just try re-installing, rebooting, etc. That's all I can suggest.
I'm going to bed now. Call them in 8 hours (8 a.m. Eastern US time) and they will give you help. They can even set up a screen sharing session where they can see what's going on and drive your computer. I can't/won't do that, but they will. Good luck tomorrow.

remove the previous folder from the c drive if you installing there. Also remove the previous download versions. And now after complete clearing start download new version & then install. I sure you have license key problem. Get some valid or non encrypt license key. See also are you installing correct operating system which is your system. If you find the solution. Please accept my answer..

problem is that , your license key is clashing some other software which has install on your pc , that why . Check also drive capacity

How can a license key clash with some other software on the PC? The other software isn't going to be looking for license keys in inside MATHWORK's portion of the registry.
