could not create the Java virtual machine

Posted: Aug 7, 2004 6:02 PM

I am using a Dell Inspiron 5150
Windows XP Pro w/ corporate upgrade

Have installed the MSJava Virtual Machine 3810 update.

I am trying to run a game called Dungeon Master Java. Instructions were to create a shortcut on my desktop as follows:

target: "C:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.2_05\bin\javaw.exe" "-cp. dmnew"

(I have confirmed that this exe is there.)

start in: "C:\Program Files\dmjava"

(in the directory dmjava is 'dmnew.cfg' and 'dmnew.class'
plus a list of 'dmnew$xxx.class' files.)

Since I really want to play this game I am hunting around for suggestions to fix this.

Hopin' for answers - Brandon

I forgot to mention that the subject of my message is the exact error message. oops

I was able to find a half fix. After running the msjava diagnostics I found there are 146 dependencies on the msjave vm. So I created a ghost image of my os for backup then uninstalled msjvm. Installed sun java runtime and voila, the application works no problem.

I encountered the problem after unwittingly installing sun when msjvm was already installed.

Now I dont have msjvm. What will happen to the 146 dependencies? Do they use sunjava? I'm assuming the previous file path to msjava will be with them still.

And what are they? What types of apps have java dependencies. I only have a few programs installed on this machine.

If yall are interested in feeding my curiosity I'd appreciate it.

I'm pretty sure that if you have a JRE properly installed
and configured (probably you might need to set
your environment variables using the Control Panel,
under System to point to the bin directory of where
you put your Sun JRE) you should be able to run
any byte code with no problems.

I hope I understood the nature of your problem.

Good luck.

Spike
