Hello everyone,

I have looked almost EVERYWHERE and cannot get a single answer I keep giving Minecraft by least 2Gigabytes by putting in the -Xmx2G in the JVM Argument box but its either i get Error: Could not create the Java virtual machine Error: A fatal exeption has occured. Program will exit or it just goes back to 1G How can this be fixed???? (Error file down below!)

You are put 12 Gb instead of 2. Look for that error and change it to 2. But why are doing this in the first place?

You are using a 32-bit computer. Most 32-bit gpu's have a limit of 1GB. From all theories its because of your 32-bit computer. I suggest upgrading your hard drive and memory!

This is all incorrect. The hard limit for 32-bit virtual memory addressing is 4 GB but usually it is a bit lower because the OS (namely the kernel) needs some memory for itself. The OP was not asking why he can't allocate 12 GB, he simply wrote the JVM argument incorrectly, wanted 2 GB instead of 1 but ended up with 12. The obvious solution is to fix the JVM argument.

For the record allocating 2 GB to a single process on a 32-bit machine, especially a Windows one, is asking for trouble. 1 GB should more than suffice but try numbers between 1 and 2 first, like 1500M. Even though JVM may never actually allocate all of that headroom, it's still safer to keep some restraint on your running processes.

Try allocating less ram as in 1 gb instead of 2 and such it worked for me when i got that error

I've used 8gigs of ram for minecraft for as long as i can remember and it always worked but not until a few days ago i kept getting the stupid "Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine. Error: A fatal exception has occurred. Program will exit" for who knows why, anyone have a solution to this?

you must be using 32bit Java now for whatever reason.

Well i get really laggy during gameplay and i was thinking this would do better

You've made two mistakes.

Totally wasted since you have a 32bit install of Windows
