Not know if anyone was able to get their Matlab 7.1 working
on vista yet, but here are some solutions.

======  Solution #1  ====================
(Make sure you have enabled viewing of hidden files and
folders first)
1. Browse to the folder C:\Users\<your
username>\AppData\Roaming\

2. Remove the directory named "MathWorks"

3. Once this has been removed, restart MATLAB.  This
directory will be recreated the next time you start MATLAB.
=====================================

If that does not work, please try the following:


======  Solution #2  ====================
This problem may be resolved by changing the Compatibility
Mode in the MATLAB short cut icon.

1.  Right click on the MATLAB icon, choose properties then
go to the "Compatibility" tab

2.  Check the box "Run this program in Compatibility Mode
for:" (if it is not checked).  Set this field to "Windows
2000 or Windows XP".  Press OK to save the changes.

3. Try to start MATLAB again.
=====================================

If this fails, change the compatibility back to the previous
setting.  Start MATLAB using the following flags:


======  Solution #3  ====================
1. Right click on the MATLAB icon and choose properties.

2. Go to the end of the "Target" line, after MATLAB.exe, and
add the '-nodesktop' flag

Example:
Target:  "C:\Program Files\........\MATLAB.exe" -nodesktop

3. Press OK to save these changes.

4. If MATLAB starts using the -nodesktop flag, type
"desktop" in the MATLAB command window and send the output.

5. If this does not work, add the line -nojvm where
-nodesktop previously existed and try to start MATLAB again.

=====================================

I performed the first and it resolved the problem for me. 
I'm running Vista home premium.
