I am having problems installing Matlab Version 5.3.1/Release R11.1 on my new HP-Pavilion notebook PC which has Windows 7 Professional with an Windows XP Emulator.
When I try to execute the installation, I get an error message saying not compatible with my new 64 BIT machine. Please advise as to how to go about doing this.
Thanks.

That is a ancient version of MATLAB, from 1999 according to Wikipedia. That release of MATLAB was likely designed for Windows NT or Windows 98, as 1999 was a couple of years before the release of Windows XP, which you are trying to emulate.
You can try updating this question with a screenshot of what you are seeing, but this may be a case where just too much time has passed between that version's release and the modern computer you are trying to install on.
