Beware, on Windows it might be that you are not allowed to write to
C:\Program Files (or whatever the localized name is on your computer), and
therefore the .cfg might not be writable by you. If that is not the issue,
please start Fiji from the command line as described in
http://fiji.sc/Debugging_intro#Command_line_debuggingThe most likely reason why your Fiji does not start with exactly the same
amount of RAM as specified in the .cfg file is that Java often cannot
allocate as much RAM due to Operating System specific reasons, and rather
than fail, Fiji tries again with less RAM.
Ciao,
