Pre-note: This is not a problem I am having with Minecraft. All answers I can find seem to be Minecraft issues.
Error: could not create the Java Virtual Machine. Error: A fatal exception has occurred. Program will exit.
I get this error when I try to do something Java related. I cannot launch a .jar without this error coming up and when I try to install JDK, I get this error. This has been plauging me for a while and I was not able to research an answer so I thought I would ask it myself.
EDIT: Windows 7 (x64) Dell Studio Laptop, 4GB RAM, external Radeon HD 6950 Graphics Card. I have tried uninstalling all JVMs and reinstalling but it didn't work, although I cannot remember how thorough I was so I may try again. Here is a list of all the Java related things I have installed (found in the uninstall or change programs window):
- Java 3D 1.5.1
- Java 3D 1.5.1 (x64)
- Java 3D 1.5.2
- Java 6 Update 30
- Java 6 Update 30 (64-bit)
- Java 7 Update 2
- Java 7 Update 3 (64-bit)
- JavaFX 2.0.3 (64-bit)
- JavaFX 2.0.3 SDK (64-bit)
