reshape problem in matlab

I have a 2D matrix, which is: h=zeros(65536,1); now when I use the: h = reshape(h, 256, 256); i get the error: To RESHAPE the number of elements must not change. but the number of elements are the same on both matrixes, what should I do?

This code works for me just fine:

h = zeros(65536,1)
h = reshape(h, 256, 256);

Are you 100% sure you are not doing something in between those two lines that changes the shape of h? I suggest you insert the line

N = numel(h)

just before you do the resize, just to be sure.

so I guess I should check my code, thanks
