"Unable to start the application--the class file could not be loaded

Catastrophic failure"

It did this when I was using my CD to reload a toolbox that was corrupt. So I uninstalled the previous version, and even did so using a third party program that gets rid of EVERYTHING, then tried reinstalling using the setup on the CD and get the exact same error. Not quite sure what to do now, I mean this is a CD that worked on my friends computer (yes I have a license through my university, Embry-Riddle, and we are allowed to check it out of the library, just so you know)

Update your Java runtime environment - or start Matlab with <matlab -nojvm> ie. no Java...
