Error: Couldn't create temporary file to decode encapsulated data

When I try to read a dicomfile using dicomread it gives the following errors:

Error using dicomread>decompressJpegFrame (line 981)
Couldn't create temporary file to decode encapsulated data.

Error in dicomread>processEncapsulatedPixels (line 896)
        [X(:,:,:,outputFrame), prevWarning] = decodeFcn(metadata, frameStart, prevWarning);

Error in dicomread>newDicomread (line 214)
    X = processEncapsulatedPixels(metadata, frames);

Error in dicomread (line 79)
[X, map, alpha, overlays] = newDicomread(msgname, frames);

I tried several things to stop the errors, but they didn't work. I reïnstalled MATLAB and the imageging processing toolbox. I also rebooted my laptop, that worked a little bit. Because it runs one time after I reboot my laptop, but when I run it another time it gives the errors I listed above. I already checked the Temp directory, but this was fine. I find it especially weird that it runs one time after I reboot my laptop, but after that it doesn't anymore.

I don't know if it is a problem with Matlab or with my laptop, but maybe you know the answer? I have windows 8.1 and Matlab2014b (but it also gave these errors with Matlab 2013b).

please create a new question for that.

Are you calling images.dicom.parseDICOMDIR yourself like it appears? Or did you get to that point by seeing what dicominfo crashed with?

You're best off calling tech support I think, since the error is buried deep within one of their functions.

Okay, i'll try that. Thank you!
