WIN: (eyelink) dll problems

Occasionally, there have been reports of people having problems getting
the eyelink.dll toolbox (and as far as I remember also screen.dll) to
work.
They then get an error like this:

>>> Unable to load mex file:
>> C:\MATLAB\toolbox\eyelinktoolbox\eyelinkbasic\eyelink.dll.
>>> The specified module could not be found.
>>>
>>> ??? Invalid MEX-file


It seems Ronald van den Berg managed to find out (for XP at least) what
the problem is. One of the issues is that it may not actually be the
eyelink.dll (or screen.dll) that can't be found, but some other dll
(such as the well known: efsadu.dll ;-0 ) on which the eyelink is
depending (so much for matlab error reporting). Most of the times these
dll's are installed, but occasionally not (apparently).

Follow this link for details on how to possibly solve this type of
problems if you ever encounter it.
