EEGLAB won't open - maximum recursion error

[adabelsdsu]

Running Matlab 2018a and EEGLab v 14_1_2b. It used to work fine but now won't open. The error I get is that it cannot access the local eeg_options file and maximum recursion limit of 500 reached. I've uninstalled and re-installed both Matlab and EEGLab with the same result. Thoughts?

Yes, it is a strange problem. My intuition is that either eeg_options.m or eeg_optionsbackup.m is corrupted. We would need to be able to set a breakpoint inside eeglab_options.m to figure out what the problem is.

You can try to go into the path and remove all non original Matlab paths.

Also under Matlab, you can type "which eeg_options.m" and delete the file.

Let us know,

And you can also update the EEGLAB 2019.1 (EEGLAB 14.2 is about 3 years old). Closing issue for now.
