Hi Michael,

This is  a well know problem - you need to allocate more memory to the Java 
heap. See

http://www.vassalengine.org/wiki/doku.php?id=faq_general#the_map_sometime_flashes_onscreen_then_disappears._other_times_it_never_appears_at_all

Whenever you use webstart to update VASSAL, the heap limit is reset to 256Mb 
which is not enough for large maps.

Version 3.0 vassal will have some updates to address this problem.

Cheers,
Brent.

I have a module with a large scanned map that is having trouble

I just upgraded the Java Runtime Version to 1.5.0_11. I am not sure if 
it is a cooincidence that I just started having this problem.

Are there limits on how large a map can be in Vassal? I have a gig of 
RAM so that should not be a problem (the map sections add up to about 
10BM JPEG with no compression). Any ideas on how to fix the problem?

Thanks.

Michael
