*** Starting Minecraft ***
Minecraft version: 1.5.1
Minecraft.jar: minecraft.jar
WindowSize: 1280x720
Java path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre7\bin\java
Memory: 3072 MB
LauncherPath: /C:/Users/Jeff/Downloads/MagicLauncher_1.0.0.jar
Error occurred during initialization of VM
Could not reserve enough space for object heap
Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine.
Error: A fatal exception has occurred. Program will exit.

I've solved this (for us).

1-line solution: remove BrowserProtect. Alas, this may be very very difficult.

For deeply geek hints about what's going on here, see this: http://johnsrandommu...-this-heap-size


Another hint: try opening a cmd tool, CD to the directory with the Minecraft.exe in it, and running "java -Xmx800m -jar Minecraft.exe" - if that works, try increasing the number from 800 towards 1024 and it should eventually break. For me, it broke at 920. If this doesn't work for 800 or even 512, then you have a different problem.

I downloaded the ListDLL utility, and found a BrowserProtect DLL loaded into every Java process at address 0x10000000. This prevents JVM allocating a contiguous 1GB object heap, causing the "could not reserve enough space" message. A 1GB object heap (java -Xmx1024M) is the default setting for vanilla Minecraft and most minecraft-related apps.

Removing browserProtect from Control Panel -> Add /Remove programs fixed it for us. However, there are lots of trojans out there buried inside BrowserProtect binaries and some of them can be very hard to eradicate.

i have the same issue , even i didnt try minecraft !! i just know its just blockssss

plz plz plz helppp

(sry my eng is bad because im arabian )

i needd help guys . i kicked the error a$$ but minecraft is very slowwww !! help

my pc
cpu:intel p4 (3.?? ghz)
vga:724 mb
ram:2 gb
thats all

I play FTB and had the same problem. I tried restarting, uninstalling java 7, and closing other windows but nothing seems to work. :/

Guys i think i have found an easier solution.Just folllow these steps.

Right click on My Computer
Click Properties
Click Advanced
Click Enviroment Variables
Click New(the second one from above)
Add this:
Variable Name:_JAVA_OPTIONS
Variable Value:-Xmx512m
Click ok
Try starting minecraft now

I know this is an old topic guys, but I've found if you log off and then log back in it works for me. I suppose it clears whatever's using up Java.

So, I found a rather idiotic solution. I just tested it several times and it works for me, but I have NO idea why. Just close all of your webpages and everything should work fine.

Yes, sometimes this does work, but not always. If this browser method fails, either log off (quickest) or restart your computer. You should find it works fine afterwards.

ERROR: Could not create the java virtual machine.

I've been playing minecraft for a year perfectly, I started it this morning and gave me this error in a dialouge box. I tried running it with a modded, a vanilla, and no .minecraft folder at all. Always gives me this error! Please help!

This has been happening to me too. I was just trying to install a mod and.... BOOM this message came up when I tried to load Minecraft.

I got the same problem, I'm running Java 7 and Minecraft 1.6.1-1.6.2 on the new Minecraft 1.0.8 launcher, says it for both the new and old launchers

Go to cmd and copy/paste this (EXACTLY this):

java -debug -version > "%userprofile%\desktop\javaDebug.log" 2>&1

Press enter, wait 5 seconds, then attempt to type in the cmd box, if you can't type continue waiting, if you can type, then close the cmd and go to your desktop, then copy paste everything from the "javaDebug" file in this thread.

I think you don't have enough free memory. When i maked free 1GB memory or restarted the computer, everything worked.

It's working now

Quote from FoxFace333

Was also running into this problem suddenly and tried everything everyone has posted here and elsewhere but nothing worked. On this machine I have Windows XP and most recent update to Java 7.

Here is what I did to finally fix it and end my torment:

Right click your minecraft.exe and click on properties --> click on middle tab called "Compatibility" --> check box "Run this program in compatibility mode for Windows 95"

TA DA!!!

Where's minecraft.exe?

i had that and i removed java and re installed and it works thanks

I fixed mine by going into Java settings, general tab, temporary internet file settings, and setting compression of jar files to high, hope that helps

I got PERFECT solution for this problem (i haved the same problem)...JUST REINSTALL YOUR MINECRAFT...somone tell that he doesn't have any files from .minecraft so i think that i should just reinstall it and BOOM ! IT WORKS

I have the java debug thing open right now. I'll post what it says below:



java version "1.6.0_31"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_31-b05)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 20.6-b01, mixed mode, sharing)

Dont install the new one- Java 6 is the one you need. Java 7 is having bad problems, And it may or may not of caused this problem. I have this problem to. Un install java, Then re install java 6. *Make sure you install the one that goes to your computer, Meaning if you have 64 bit, Download 64 bit Java 6, If you have 32 bit then download java 32 bit 6* Im learning Java, But this sadly makes no sence to me. The message will change once you install java 6 to: "Could not create the java virtual machine". It's better *Im guessing, Due to the less errors.* But still wont let Minectraft run. Im not sure and I cant help you more then that >:C... Sorry. If I find an answer, I'll tell you C:<

This solved the same problem for me

I have this error to... But I have the solution! Go to your minecraft launcher and click on the "Edit profile" Button.
Then check the JVM Arguments box if you haven't, and lower the RAM to 1024 Mb
If you're still getting this error, try lowering the RAM again.

Hope this helped!!!!

Okay, so I have been trying to get a 512x512 texture to work, and from some quick research, I decided to raise my RAM for the game. At a certain point, I can not add anymore ram because of this. I use MagicLauncher and try to add RAM that way.

So I'm hoping someone could help me out Please! If anyone was wondering what texture it is, it is R3D.CRAFT. And my first post, sorry if something isn't informative! I would've had a longer code but it said post was too long... And then when I shortened it, I panicked because my post seemed to stretch for miles, so I shortened it again... All that is left is the latest start up.

In the Edit Profile page, uncheck JVM Arguments. I did that and it worked, but when it was checked it gave me the same error.

My debug says 'java' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
