Anthony, I believe the problem is that you don't have enough contiguous memory available to start Composer. Sometimes re-starting the machine will work. Allocating more memory to your virtual machine will also work.
If that's not possible, see http://www.topquadrant.com/products/TBS_FAQ.html#TBC6 and *reduce* the amount of memory allocated to the JVM heap (the -xmx value) until Composer starts successfully. -- Scott On Jun 7, 6:28 am, Anthony Coates <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi.
