MATLAB 7.1 was supported only on Windows 2000 and Windows XP (see http://www.mathworks.com/support/sysreq/release14sp3/index.html). Is it possible for you to upgrade to the latest release?

I am running 7.0.1 on WinVista no problem. I do use an Intel cpu, but I can't imagine that would matter.
Do you need to update java?

Simply change your theme to classic windows theme! It works for me
*to change to classic theme in windows 7 specially in windows 7 starter type theme in start panel search and click on (change the color scheme) then choose windows classic and apply
