    Default Java based game problem

    At first is to say that I am german and my english is not good, but I am open for corrections. Moreover is my question not about Java programming but about a problem with a java based game.

    Since a few weeks i receive windows reports with the text: "Could not create the Java virtual machine". That were not disturbing, but now i would like to play a game that based on Java, but every time I would start it, the message come and the game do not start. The game called "Edna and Harvey: The Breakout" (German: Edna bricht aus) and is developed by a german game studio called "Daedalic entertainment".

    Sounds like you don't have a JRE installed. You can get it here: java.com: Java + You

    If that doesn't fix your problem, I recommend you remove anything Java from your computer (on windows, you go to control panel > add/remove programs and just uninstall any JREs (Java Runtime Environment) or JDKs (Java Development Kit) you see there,then reinstall them by going to the above link.

    Hope that helps!

    I'm not really sure what that means, or what we could do about it. Have you tried uninstalling the game and reinstalling it?

    I suggest you contact the makers of the game to see if they can help you.

    No problem. Just out of curiosity, what was the fix?

    I remove the folder "jre_1.6.0_06" from the game directory and then i copie the Java folder from my computer in it. Then i put the folder "launch4j-tmp" from the removed folder to the new Java\bin folder and renamed the new Java folder to "jre_1.6.0_06".
