set default properties ERROR

Hi, i face the following problems to which i could not find any solution yet. However i think, they are connected:

1. the command

   set(0,'DefaultFigureWindowStyle','docked');

produces the Error

   Subscript indices must either be real positive integers or logicals.

also if i want to set the colorbar property with

   c=colorbar('peer',gca);
   set(get(c,'ylabel'),'String', 'Beta relative');

the same Error occurs. The strange thing is, that this happens randomly, so sometimes i can set the properties and then all of a sudden i get the Error. Any suggestions?

Thanks for the help

It looks as though you may have a variable named 'set' in your workspace. Is that the case?
