Unable to Create Java Virtual Machine

This is may be because you are trying to allocate more ram to Minecraft then your computer an handle. Or because you are running 32bit Java on a 64bit Machine.

Solutions to this:

Try less ram in the target example:

-Xmx2048M -Xms2048M or -Xmx1536M -Xms1536M

Uninstall 32bit Java and Install 64bit Java (for 64bit Operating systems only!)

If your sound does not work after doing this trick, Load up minecraft, go to Options and turn sound and music on, for some odd reason this work around just simply turns the sound off ingame. You can easily turn it right back on.

For the people complaining that it's not working and want the original Minecraft.exe back well that is why my friends he made a shortcut as a copy!

You are my hero man, great vid, :) many thanks :)

[zlmitchell]

@TheXxxGeRmAnBoYxxx that means you are trying to allocate more ram to it than your computer can handle. So if you are trying -Xmx4096M -Xms4096M like in the video try -Xmx2048M -Xms2048M or even -Xmx1536M -Xms1536M.

OMG THIS SPEED UP MY MINECRAFT TOTAL THANK YOU SO MUCH

[zlmitchell]

@SomeViolentKid Make sure your start in is correct and that you have quotes around the locations of both your location of the javaw.exe and the location of the minecraft.exe

[zlmitchell]

@iitsRebel if your computer is Windows 32 bit with only 2GB of ram then you cannot expand the amount of ram. You need to buy more ram first for your computer. Seeing as a 32bit operating system can only use 3.2Gb of ram i would buy 4GB of RAM and suggest upgrading to 64bit OS.

@njamison1000 Few simple upgrades and ur pc would run it decently :) Do u have a desktop or laptop?

[zlmitchell]

@iitsRebel Make sure if you are running 64bit then you are running 64bit Java!

I uninstall the 32 bit java version, and eventually it wants to reinstall it, so I let it. I disabled it in the JVM settings though, and creating this shortcut properly forces it to use the 64-bit anyway, I hope.

At around 1:59 when i hit ok it says the name specified in the target box not valid! Please Help!!! zlmitchell

@ujustwastedurtime you cannot dedicate all your ram to minecraft try dedicating only 3gb or 4gb to minecraft. or even 2 gb to start. then move up from there

@raptorcitos "C:\Program -Xmx2048M -Xms2048M -jar

Also make sure you target is set to

[zlmitchell]

@WwLCaucasianAsian You are running 32bit Java, 32bit Java is your problem, please install 64bit java then you can run it with 4GB of ram otherwise your max is 2GB of ram.

[MaxpowerCooper]

I would guess that your computer's processor is doing lot's of other stuff so try less RAM, I tryed 1.5 GB and that didn't work but when I tryed 1.2 GB it worked

@WwLCaucasianAsian Make sure you follow the video exactly, and use the template. with all the quotes.

@Zabotage727 Make sure the target is correct from the template then your start in should be where your minecraft.exe is located minus the mincraft.exe. if you have more problems get with me and i can help you out further.
