The single most likely problem is if the version of Java installed does not match what MATLAB expects. Java is temperamental.
You might want to experiment with changing the figure Renderer property.
Ok, I update the java on my computer, and now it is working just fine. Thanks
Oh Oh, it is back gain!!

clear all
A=imread('ngc6543a.jpg');
for i=1:5
imwrite(A,['grafica',num2str(i),'.tif']);
end

What does this segment do? and where to write it?
Don't worry about it. You already had said that you solved your problem by updating Java.
@Jose: What are you talking about?

copy and paste it into the matlab command window.
and see what this code.
Look at the current directory where to store the files created by the user. there should appear a number of figures created.

What are these figures? and how these can help solving the problem?
Thanks

Saeed: Are you still having the Java problem? Or do you just want to save files? See the FAQ http://matlab.wikia.com/wiki/FAQ#How_can_I_process_a_sequence_of_files.3F

When I press "save as..", the message in the first post appear again, and I can not save the file.
Call the Mathworks. Apparently it's some kind of Java incompatibility.
can not I save it from the command window or something like that?
You can try print() or saveas()
