Hello SPM Experts, For the past few months, I have been having frequent problems with matlab crashing when I run a variety of spm scripts. Below I have included the error message I got most recently. I emailed matlab and I now believe it is spm_global.mexw64 that is giving me problems. I have scoured the archives and the internet to try to figure out how to fix this but I am not very familiar with mex files and have not had any luck so far. Do you have any advice? Thanks!
