Hello uckelman,
I tried several times to set the maximun heap to a higher value, but all
I got was an error code informing me of the attempt to use a memory
value greater than what is available and this despite that an entire
memory slot from 4 GB was unused.
Ok. To what were you trying to set the max heap?
The problem lies in how and especially
where Java allocates memory. If possible, Java should be forced to
allocate memory in a free memory slot, and not in one already used by
the operating system and other programs that are activated automatically
when the computer starts.
I’m not sure what you’re talking about here.
