So I am running a server for a few friends and it will not start since I updated to Java 7 Update 67. The console says:

Invalid initial heap size: -Xms 4096M

The specified size exceeds the maximum representable size.

Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine.

Error: A fatal exception has occurred. Program will exit.

I know its saying that there is too much Memory going into it. I thought that meant I have a 32bit java so i also downloaded java 7 Update 67 64 bit. Same errors. I have run this server for two months with 4GB of RAM on it. Can anyone tell me how to fix this? Also i have a 64bit Windows 7. Heres the start.bat code:

@echo off
java -Xms4096M -Xmx4096M -XX:MaxPermSize=128M -jar spigot.jar
PAUSE

Nope that code did not work, i will remove 32bit Java now.

Edit: 32Bit Java uninstalled, now it says Java is not a recognized command. the PATH i have in there is:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre7\bin

I even added this: C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre7\bin\Java.exe and im getting the same thing. Its really frustrating when that is what is supposed to make it work and it doesn't. :/

If you've tried the other options, maybe it just means you don't have enough RAM.

I have 8GB RAm on 64bit Windows 7. Keep in mind that the server HAS ran for two months and i updated Java TODAY.

Are you absolutely sure you got 64 bit?

Yes. I re-installing it again as we speak. All I could find was: Windows Offline (64bit) is this not the correct one?
EDIT: This is what is in my PATH: C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre7\bin\Java.exe Nothing else is there. Did i screw it up again?

Did you un-install Java 32 bit before installing Java 64 bit?

Yes I did.
Edit: I'm just gonna uninstall all java I have and 're install it and see if it works.

I uninstalled java and deleted all its folders and got it again and put this in path: C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin, and it now works. It is indeed 64bit java but I do not know why its not in x86. Whatever. Issue Solved!
