Details:

Heared, that octave may replace Matlab. Thus I just downloaded and unziped
Octave3.6.1_gcc4.6.2_20120303.7z to d:\octave and started using the link. 

Tried to test Octave with

x = (-10:0.1:10)';
plot(x)

which crashed after some time without showing any error. (Great user
experience, btw.)

When starting octave.exe from the command line I get

D:\octave\Octave3.6.1_gcc4.6.2\bin>octave.exe

I'm trying running octave on a Windows XP SP3 in a corporate environment. 

Best regards
