Win 7 64-bit will not allocate more than 700m of JVM space

[feickertmd]

I just changed to a 64-bit OS so that i could have a bigger JVM. However, Oxygen will crash if I put anything over 700m. My cohorts who use 64-bit Mac machines with same ram amoutn (8GB) have no problem with 1500m.

What can I do? I have almost 7 GB free space, and I can't use it!

Hello,

Are you using an anti-virus or some other security software? We've actually experienced this problem ourselves with some anti-virus software. The solution was to change its setting to be more permissive.

The other alternative is to use the Oxygen "All platforms" distribution:
http://www.oxygenxml.com/download_oxygenxml_editor.html (All tab)

and install a 64-bit JRE from Oracle:

Then manually edit the oxygen.bat and increase the memory(-Xmx) to whatever amount you need(64-bit allows way more memory).

Regards,
Adrian

Adrian,

I have Sophos, handled by network policy. Has it been particularly buggy toward you? (It wouldn't surprise me.)

I'll try that route. I have the 64-bit JRE installed already. I'll try the firewall and the all installation and let you know. Thanks.

Adrian, I need v 11 (that what I have a license for). Where can i find that in the All download?

The "All" installation worked. Looks like there may be some constraint through my firewall in Windows 7. I'll troubleshoot and let you know if I figure it out so that others may benefit.

I guess you found the "All platforms" distribution of v11.2 in our software archive. In case you didn't, or someone else is looking for it, it can be found here:

Let me know of your progress.
