To resolve the "illegal instruction detected" error in MATLAB 2014a with SPMMouse on Windows 11, try the following:

1. Run in Compatibility Mode: Right-click MATLAB's shortcut, select Properties > Compatibility, and choose an older Windows version.
2. Look for any patches from MathWorks for MATLAB 2014a.
3. See if the issue persists on a different computer.
4. Consider updating to a version that supports Windows 11, like MATLAB R2021b or later.
5. Disable MKL: Before starting MATLAB, set the environment variable:

set MKL_DISABLE_FAST_MM=1
