when you tried other JVMs, where did you install them? try installing one into C:\Java or some such directory - not into CF8's jre folder and not into Program Files - and changing your java.home in jvm.config to point to the new jre location.
(make sure you download and install the JDK, not just JRE - jdk includes the /server directory; jre only has /client) and, as has been suggested already, triple-check that all the parts (OS, CF and JVM) run in same bit mode (all 32-bit or all 64-bit) Azadi On 01/12/2010 18:34 , Brook Davies wrote: > Well, its 2am and I am still trying to figure this one out.
