Hi every one, I am a beginner for MATLAB and psychtoolbox too .   
I wanna download Psychtoolbox , but an error has accrue constantly while I have been downloaded it .  
I know that downloading has some steps , but when I reach to 4th step which is explain in this following link :  
[http://psychtoolbox.org/wikka.php?wakka=PsychtoolboxDownload](http://psychtoolbox.org/wikka.php?wakka=PsychtoolboxDownload)  
  
 And when I had written this syntax to command window :   

> \>\> cd C:/toolbox  
> \>\> DownloadPsychtoolbox('C:/toolbox')

this below error appears .  
  
'??? Error using ==\> cd  
Cannot CD to C:/toolbox (Name is nonexistent or not a  
directory).'   
  
and I have tried this process again and again but I don't know where is the problem ?  
I have Matlab R2009b and I wanna download this toolbax for windows 7 indeed.   
could someone point me what is wrong with it ?!  
  
Thanks a lot.  
Maryam

You would thus either 1) have to go into your C drive and make this directory "toolbox", or 2) find out where the toolbox folder fo your matlab installation is (e.g. "C:\Program Files\MATLAB\ R2009b\toolbox") and pass that directory to DownloadPsychtoolbo x instead of "C:/toolbox".
