Why is my matlab not working suddenly?

I am using matlab 2013a on windows 8. Till yesterday night everything was fine. but from today morning when i click on the matlab icon It is not opening. The program ends immediately after it shows an error message that too for only a second. What to do?

1. What is the error (if it’s visible long enough to read)?

2. Did you make any changes or updates or install any new applications?

3. If you click on:

C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2013a\bin\matlab

does it launch then?

4. Has your startup.m file changed?

You probably need to Contact Support.

Tell them you can’t access ‘ver’, but do have your licence number ready. You can get that from the ‘My Account’ link near the upper right corner of the MathWorks home page.

You definitely have my sympathies!
