Can't change Java memory allocation 9.1.3 Windows 7

I changed the Java memory allocation using Tools | General | Java edit box, but entered -Xmx4096 instend of -Xmx4096m. Now 9.1.3 won't start - brief flicker of start up logo - then dies. Editing the dbvis.vmoptions file does nothing. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling -- no change -- still won't start. I suppose there's something in the Windows registry that uninstall doesn't clear out -- but where? Basically 9.1.3 is unusable at the moment.

Thank you. You have solved the problem. I have plenty of RAM (32GB), but I entered a number:that was too small: 4096 rather than 4096M. That was too small for DBVis to start. I didn't know that there was another copy of vmoptions in C:\Users\\.dbvis. I tried to edit the copy in C:\Program Files\DbVisualizer Thank you again for the rapid solution.

I'm having the exact same problem with Mac 10.10 and DBViz 9.2.6. I tried to change my memory settings via the "override" option in the DBViz preferences. I think I set the memory too high, the program crashed and now won't start. I looked for the vmoptions.txt in /Applications/DBvisualizer.app, but that is set correctly and I'm still stuck. My boss just bought a license for me too, so I hope I'm not stuck. Any advice on a fix or workaround? Edited by: Kris Eberwein on May 1, 2015 3:41 AM

Hi Kris, you need to remove a file in your .dbvis folder to reset the overridden value. Please see the warning note in this FAQ for the exact file name depending on platform: http://confluence.dbvis.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=3146118 Best Regards, Hans
