Hello ae2927, hello Klaus,

we have addressed that issue in a recent release of the ImageJ launcher.
This version is, however, not yet bundled with the latest Fiji release.

It would be awesome, if you could test the latest launcher: Download it
from
http://jenkins.imagej.net/job/ImageJ-launcher/1260/label=Windows/artifact/target/ImageJ-win32.exe 
and copy it to your Fiji/ImageJ folder, replacing the old launcher.
Before you start the executable, move the ImageJ.cfg (if there is one in
your Fiji folder) to a safe location.

All the best,
Stefan
