Why is a segmentation violation produced when I click on the gui menu bar?

Hi all,

I wrote a matlab program with a graphical user interface (gui). I am using matlab r2012a. The program works fine on windows 7, but when I switched to windows 8 the program terminates with the following error when I click on the gui menu bar. By the way, it is strange that the error information says "operating system:Microsoft Windows 7" (instead of windows 8). Would someone have a clue? Thanks in advance
