win7x64 + java= java runtime parameters wont save?

[cameramonkey]

I have an application (dell IT Assistant) that requires client machines to set specific runtime parameters in the java control panel (-Xmx256M).

you can type in the settings in the appropriate fields and all is well. but when you click save it does not. It simply closes the window, and when you reopen it the parameters are missing.


Any ideas on what is going on, and more importantly how to fix it?

What is "java control panel"? Can't you just specify those parameters when launching the application?

Cheers,

problem solved. Apparently I had a bad install, or java 6Update 7 or update 11 were not windows 7 compatible. I had both installed and as soon as I removed them and added update 18 the problem was resolved.


Dianecht: Its a web app, so I cant get it to add those when the browser launches it.

the control panel in question is accessed via the windows control panel, go into java, then under the java tab, there is a java runtime environment settings button. in there you can add switches for every app that is launched.

So it's an applet?
