uiwait, msgbox, listdlg are not working properly in Matlab 2013a with Windows 7

I have recently started using the Matlab 2013a with Windows 7. I have observed that some of the basic matlab functionalities are not working as expected, even with the examples in the documentation.

uiwait is completely stopped working, i need to use the waitfor function for some of the things -

UI Wait :
Error using set
Too many input arguments.
Error in uiwait (line 71)
set (hFigDlg, 'Visible', 'on', 'WaitStatus', 'waiting');

listdlg is popup and closes immediately, without waiting for the user inputs.

Plot Example:

x = -pi:0.1:pi;
y = sin(x);
plot(x,y);
title('Sine Function')
----------
Error using set
Too many input arguments.

Error in title (line 47)
       set(h, 'FontAngle',  get(ax, 'FontAngle'), ...

Error in title (line 23)
  h = title(gca,varargin{:});

Is any thing supported software need to install, like vc_*.exe or any java version..?

What shows up for

which -all set

In particular you should be interested in anything that is not marked as a java method or built-in method, and which is not underneath a directory that starts with an @

Probably the item of interest will be the first one on the list.

My hypothesis is that you will find that you have a third party toolbox set.m early on your path.

Perfect, I have written a function "set" as undefined function which is also a standard function. I have figured it out while in process of debugging.

Thanks a lot, i helped to analysis in easiest way.

Now i have changed and it is working fine. Thank you.
