Could anyone help?

sounds like you don't have as much ram free as you're trying to allocate (3gigs)

[soulgriever]

change -xmx3g to -xmx2g

[deathlyangel74]

Ok, I accidentally made it 3 gigs instead of 2. Thanks for the help!

[deathlyangel74]

I made it 2G and 1G and neither worked.

[soulgriever]

how much ram does your system have?

[deathlyangel74]

4 gigs.

ok lets change your batch file a bit try changing your batch to the following without quotes

"%ProgramFiles%\Java\jre7\bin\java.exe" -Xmx1536m -Xms1536m -jar Tekkit.jar nogui

pause

 

didnt notice before that your on a 32 bit system. unfortunately the max java 32bit will recognize is 1.5gb thus the 1536m if that doesnt work try 

 

"%ProgramFiles%\Java\jre7\bin\java.exe" -Xmx1g -Xms1g -jar Tekkit.jar nogui

cant guarentee the best performance but hey thats about the best your gonna get on 32 bit

It still gives me the same error. I used to have 2 gigs of RAM but I just upgraded to 4 gigs. I don't know if that will affect anything.

I tried 1G and it worked. (I didn't see that part until now) Thanks!

not a problem glad to help.

(For you and those that still have this problem), the reason this happened is because the server doesn't run of the total RAM you have installed, but the amount of RAM free, for example, I have 4G of RAM, but if I go to Control Panel\System and Security\System (Windows 7), I have 2.99G usable, which is why I couldn't start up my server either, just putting that out there :)
