along with a box saying error starting Java VM

ah, can you post the output of jaikoz.ini.

How much RAM does does your PC have ?

working.directory=.
classpath.1=lib/*.jar
main.class=com.jthink.jaikoz.Start
log.level=none
vm.heapsize.preferred=800
vm.location=JVM32/bin/client/JVM.dll
single.instance=window
vmarg.1=-XX:MaxPermSize=200m
arg.1=-l2
arg.2=-m2
arg.3=-f

system properties shows 2.96GB (some used by video card shared)

i totally uninstalled and reinstalled
same error

i also have beatunes

itunes 11.0.2.25

Try changing the line:

vm.heapsize.preferred=800

to a lower figure such as

vm.heapsize.preferred=400

and see if that resolves it

it started (slowly) what difference will i see?

The difference is that you have less memory allocated to Jaikoz, so it can load less songs, so if you are trying to fix thousands of songs you may hit a problem.

I don’t really understand why you cannot use more than 400 MB for Jaikoz though if your PC has 3GB. Maybe try rebooting and ensuring nothing else is running, then try modifying back to 800mb and seeing if it works this time.

i do that, an it get’s the same error again
change it back and it starts again
any other ideas?
