Hi All-  
  
I've seen this problem mentioned a few places on the Discussion  
Boards, but I have not found a solution yet. This is a new install of  
PTB for me using a site licensed version of MatLab. After the  
installation I get the following error if I run a demo. Right now the  
main problem is the lack of Screen command but it looks like there is  
an OpenGL problem too. I've done some things to try and remedy this  
already (see below) but here is the output and version information.  
  
\<---Start---\>  
  

> \>\> BasicSoundOutputDemo

??? Error using ==\> AssertOpenGL at 54  
This script or function is designated to run only an Psychtoolbox  
based on OpenGL. See AssertOpenGL.  
  
Error in ==\> BasicSoundOutputDemo at 45  
AssertOpenGL;  
  

> \>\> DriftDemo

??? Error using ==\> Screen  
Too many input arguments.  
  
Error in ==\> DriftDemo at 108  
 Screen('CloseAll');  
  
\<---End---\>  
  
I saw a thread discussing the need to install the Microsoft Visual C++  
libraries. I was able to install the X86 but not the X64 libraries.   
  
I am running a new HP Windows XP laptop. Any help would be greatly  
appreciated.
