The dll files are no longer used by newer MATLAB versions. As you have the newer mexw32 files, you could delete the dll files (or move them somewhere out of the way). There will be some new updates for SPM5 very soon. I had originally planned them for today, but they have been delayed slightly (I don't know how far the other authors have got with their last minute modifications/fixes). Hopefully, this will resolve the toolbox loading problem. I only have 7.2.0.294 (R2006a) on this computer, and have not actually encountered this problem. You shouldn't need spm_config_sendmail.m, and a different user interface for the FieldMap toolbox can be accessed via the Toolbox pulldown. best regards, -John On Friday 28 September 2007 15:49, Wang Ping wrote: > Dear SPM experts: > > I installed and updated SPM5, but when I run it under matlab 7.4.0(R007a), > it gives following message: > > Warning: In the directory "c:\spm5", spm_unlink.mexw32 now shadows > spm_unlink.dll. > Please see the MATLAB 7.1 Release Notes. > > and also: > Loading of toolbox c:\spm5\toolbox\spm_config_sendmail.m failed. > Loading of toolbox c:\spm5\toolbox\FieldMap\spm_config_FieldMap.m failed. > > Does anybody have silimar experience and could help me? > Thanks! > > _________________________________________________________________ > Ãâ·ÑÏÂÔØ MSN Explorer: http://explorer.msn.com/lccn/
