Yesterday I downloaded the current version of SPM5 and installed the Updates. It is running with MATLAB 7.0.1 (R14) SP1 on a WindowsXP machine. While importing around 1400 DICOM images of one session I get the error message below. The matlab documentation recommends to increase the size of swapping space. I succecively increased the swap space to 20GB but get still this error message. The system memory is 2GB The images were acquired with a SIEMENS Allegra Scanner. Any ideas?
