Thanks for the reply back Andy, I will get to what I was typing in below but I dont even know which download link to pick from this page to get it installed on my new pc.

 

http://sourceforge.net/projects/octave/files/Octave%20Windows%20binaries/

 

There are 14 different choices, then for example if I click on the first one there is the read me link and 3 different downloads to choose from.  Which one of those 3 links am I supposed to choose?

 

What I was doing with the program when it was installed was opening up a dos window and then typing this in.

 

"c:\Octave\3.2.4_gcc-4.4.0\bin\octave-3.2.4.exe" -q "c:\masseynew2\maddux.m" "c:\masseynew2\james2"  13 3 0 40

 

This would run a script that my programmer designed that did some least squares calculations.

 

Please help me get this running on the new pc and then I can tell you what errors I am coming across.

If you want the same version as before, so you have to make no changes then here

http://sourceforge.net/projects/octave/files/Octave%20Windows%20binaries/Octave%203.2.4%20for%20Windows%20MinGW32%20Installer/

and get

Octave-3.2.4_i686-pc-mingw32_gcc-4.4.0_setup.exe

Don't install the packages. At least one of them is known to cause issues. you will need to put those files, eg maddux.m back in the corresponding location on your new machine.
