It solved the problem! After loading again, I checked in the<code>set path</code> and in the <code>Help</code> if it exist and it is there and the folder is there. However, the hepl product it not able to find functions of this toolbox with the search option.... I wander why. Anyway, thank you very much!!

If you installed Matlab somewhere under C:\Program Files\ you can't modify any file here unless you do so with Matlab (notepad) running under the administration account. Try a right click on the matlab icon and then "Run as administrator". This will give you full access to windows disk C.

It's my own computer. hope there will be another way, or else i'll have to run it manualy each session with the <code>addpath</code>.

If it's a work or institutional computer, I'd try getting in touch with your system administrator. If you want to use k-Wave for just a single session, you can also run <code>addpath</code> from the command line. Brad.

I get an error when saving the startup.m file after adding the line. the error says: "Eror writing startup.m. Check if directory is read-only or has been renamed or deleted".

If no <code>startup.m</code> file exists, create one, and save it in the MATLAB startup directory. Brad.

I'm using windows vista, Matlab 7.11.0 R2010b Noak on "Error When Trying To Set Path" http://www.k-wave.org/forum/topic/error-when-trying-to-set-path#post-3683 Thu, 30 May 2013 17:20:23 +0000 Noak 3683@http://www.k-wave.org/forum/ Hi there! I'm trying to set the path to the toolbox. I've tried both ways and get an error (matlab does not 'agree' to change the startup file at all). For the convetional way, got : "MATLAB cannot save changes to the path. The path fle pathdef.m might be read-only....." and then suggests tosave pathdef.m in another location. tryied that - didn't work. Do you know any about it? Thank you! Noa.
