yes I totally removed java first, and its the 64 bit windows 8 java, when I did that it allowed me to add up to 3 gigs for running tekkit instead of 1 gig for my old java. about the console I changed the settings so the console pops up so I can see what its doing otherwise I think it has frozen and exit it and retry to the same result so i just watch the console do its thing
about a server starting is there no way to stop it starting when i launch? id like to try to avoid redownloading everthing my bandwidth sucks 6 other people not including my self use the internet at my house it sucks
