Hi all,   
  
I got an error after upgradeing from Phychtoolbox v. 2.5.2 ( for os9) from to   
Phychtoolbox OSX Release 1.0.6 (26 October 2005)  
Here are errors  
---------------------------------------------  

> \>\> PsychtoolboxDate

??? Attempt to reference field of non-structure array.  
  
Error in ==\> PsychtoolboxVersion at 88  
 versionString=Psychtoolbox.version.string;  
  
Error in ==\> PsychtoolboxDate at 9  
PsychtoolboxVersion; % Load the Psychtoolbox struct.  
----------------------------------------------  
  
My environment is osx,matlab 7.0.4.352 (R14) Service Pack 2  
  
I am not sure if it is a bug?  
  
Is there any equivalent MakeQTMovie.m in this toolbox? I found that MakeQT.m was   
removed in this version, My existing code makes use of this routine.  
  
  
Best regards,  
  
PA

Hi mario,  
Thank for your information.   
Surprisingly, the errors have gone when I restart computer.  
  
Running 'IsOS9' returns zero.  
Running 'PsychtoolboxVersion' returns 1.0.6  
  
regards,  
  
PA
