i run bit defender had same problem till i set the game mode on and then it was fine
However, just this morning, I started getting the same error whether or not game mode was turned on. It has nothing to do with the Beta 1.4 update because it worked fine until this morning, the Sunday following the update. So take this, Notch:
<--- C===3
I had BitDefender 2010 and had this same problem several months ago until I figured out this same solution. Been able to play with no problems. However, I needed to upgrade to BitDefender 2011 just the other day and now I can not play Minecraft. I have tried many suggestions and possible solutions but with no luck. BitDefender is now aware of this problem and is looking into it. Hoping for a solution in the next day or two. I will try and post an update when or if I get them. So, if you are using BD 2010 you should be okay but if you have to upgrade to 2011(which I did), you could run into a problem.
In order to further investigate this issue, please follow the steps below:
1. Open the BitDefender Security Center, select "Options", then select the "Expert View".
2. Go to the "Update" module and click on "Settings";
3. Select the boxes next to "Prompt before downloading updates" from Confirm Update and Manual Update Settings;
4. Click on Apply;
5. Restart the computer in Safe Mode.
[How to restart in Safe Mode]
- Restart the computer (Windows Start button - Turn Off - Restart);
- Press the 'F8' key several times before Microsoft Windows begins to load; you need to press 'F8' until you will be displayed a text menu;
- Select 'SAFE MODE' in the text menu and press 'Enter'.
- Wait while Windows loads in Safe Mode; this process ends with a confirmation message; click 'OK' to acknowledge.
6. Browse to: C:\Windows\System32\drivers folder.
7. Locate file "bdfm.sys"and rename it into "bdfm.sy_";
8. Restart the computer in Normal mode;
9. Once the product will want to Update, please make sure to select only the Virus Signature option and not the Product Update one, as that will replace the file you renamed in Safemode.
10. Check if the issue still occurs.
NOTE:
If you are not seeing the file extension please go to Start -> Control Panel -> Folder Options -> View tab -> uncheck the option "Hide extensions for known file types".
Like I said, so far it is working. I am in further contact with them as to the change and whether or not there will be some kind of update to fix the problem. If you are using BitDefender 2010, turning on the Game Mode seems to fix the problem - at least for me it did. Any further information I get I will try and post here.
UPDATE: 4/15/11
The fix above works, however, if you turn your computer off at night and start it back up in the morning, BitDefender will create the file that you changed making Minecraft not work again. You will end up with bdfm.sy_ AND bdfm.sys files. I'm waiting to hear back from BitDefender but in the meantime, in the next day or two, I might go back in and delete the one file to see what happens. I'll update again.
OMG you have 3,00 gb of ram! :tongue.gif:
It was working a week ago and I tried to install SPC mod but I didn't know how to do it. I tried to go back in minecraft but now it's the 'Could not create java virtual machine'
When I do this, then it says that 'java' is not a recognizable program.?????
- If using 64bit, make sure to download JAVA from 64bit browser.
- You may want to download JDK instead of JRE
- Make sure you are not using all the ram available for minecraft, leaving nothing for your windows processes.
- Update/Reinstall Java
- Enable "Run as administrator" on java executives.
- Set less RAM Ex: 256 512
- If using 32bit windows, still install 64bit Java7
Try allowing more RAMs if you feel it wasnt enough.
Also, if you felt like your bat file may be containing an error, you can fix your exe to allow more RAM : http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/645785-fixed-exe-for-out-of-memory-problems/

Im running on windows XP sp3.
Anyone have any ideas?
IMA EAT YOU SOUL! lol
worked. But in version 1.2.6, one of the first. How I can update it?
When I tried the coding for Minecraft.jar in Command Prompt, it said " 'java' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program, or batch file. "
Heellllppp! D: (btw I run Windows 7 on a fast desktop computer with over 75% of the memory ready to use. It's very new, and is way better than my old laptop, which could run Minecraft fine.
