I know to get more RAM, I have to start the .jar file with the a code that I can't remember right now. My question is how do I do that? I'm running on XP

Edit the batch file that you launch the server with. Notepad works for that. Just edit the file, and you'll see two sets of numbers in it. Those numbers set memory, just have both of them set to the same value. Just be sure that you don't allocate more than your system can handle. Like if you have 4 GB of memory total, don't go and allocated more than maybe 2.0 to 2.5 GB.

java -Xmx1024M -Xms1024M -jar minecraft_server.jar nogui

When I open the jar file that I host my server with in notepad, all that comes up is an endless stream of numbers, letters, and symbols.

You need to edit the BATCH file, not the jar file.

Better yet, just follow this guide.

Nothing in that guide makes sense. And what batch file? I can't find any batch file. Just that jar file and a bunch of other text files. I tried using a text edit, but it's not working the same. It' still gibberish and I can't change the text format.

Just download this.

I made the server for you, so to speak. Just unzip the folder, and there you have it. If it doesn't run, then you need to set up the path variable, if you haven't already. There are instructions for that on the wiki page I gave.
