I have just installed the psychtoolbox but now I find that I cannot open   
Matlab to use it! each time I open Matlab it runs the installer and opens the   
psychtoolbox website but does not open Matlab comand window.  
  
Please help!

Mark,  
  
This is strange and unexpected, more so than most bugs. I don't have   
any ideas, so I'll ask questions instead:  
  
By what method are you launching Matlab ? By double-clicking the   
desktop icon or by using the Matlab entry in the Windows Start menu ?   
Were you launching Matlab by the same method before you installed the   
Psychtoolbox ?  
  
What happens if you remove the Psychtoolbox installer from your   
computer and then try to launch Matlab ? It should be safe to do that,   
you can always download a fresh copy if necessary.  
  
Best,  
  
Allen
