Okay, this is seriously driving me ballistic. Recently I've updated my old java 7 to Java 7 update 51, the game has suddenly refused to start up. I've uninstalled and reinstalled java- but that did nothing to help fix the problem. the java directory is already correct in the launcher, but it refuses to start. I've tried both 1.6.4 and 1.7.4 vanilla -Neither of them work.

every time it tries to boot up, it fails and ends displaying this message:

2GB was the amount of Memory allocated, but it still didn't start.
What's more, this is what the console had to say. the bottom part is where it decided to fail.

You cannot allocate more than ~1.5GB of RAM to a 32-bit installation of Java, that will give you the error depicted above.

Please grab 64-bit Java here,

Hey, you're actually right. I allocated 1GB instead, and it started. I had to ditch the 32bit version now though, the 64bit java version actually works with 2GB allocated. Thanks!
