Out of available memory

If MarkVision performs poorly, crashes, or gives you a memory error, you may need to change your system's Java Plug-in settings. The Java Plug-in uses 16MB of RAM regardless of how much physical or virtual memory is available. You can improve performance by increasing the memory available to MarkVision to 64MB.

User action:

  1. Click Start / Programs / Java Plug-in Control Panel.
  2. From the Java Plug-in Properties dialog, click the Basic tab.
  3. In the Java Run Time Parameters box, type:

     -ms16m -mx64m

Note: The entry "-ms16m" reserves 16MB memory when the application starts. The entry "-mx64m" reserves a maximum of 64MB available RAM. If your system has more memory, you can specify a larger amount.

For additional Java troubleshooting, see the MarkVision readme file.
