Hi Michael, or anyone else who can help!

I am having the same problem as Winnok.  I increased the memory in ImageJ too far, and it gave the "could not create java machine" error message.  I uninstalled and reinstalled ImageJ and that didn't help.  Reading your suggestions, it looks like I can change the memory elsewhere, but unfortunately I'm not extremely computer savvy and am not sure what exactly to do.  I'm using ImageJ in my research but only in a very simple way.  Can you give me easy to follow simple instructions on how I can decrease the memory so that it works again?  I don't know how to access the text files you mentioned...

Thank you SO much for your time!!!  I really appreciate it!  I'm at a standstill until I get this figured out.

Hi Winnok,

the amount of memory being used by ImageJ is stored in the ImageJ.cfg (a
simple text file). So there is no need to reinstall.

If you would like to use more then ~1.5-2 GB, you have to use 64bit Java
on a 64bit system.

cheers,
Michael
