Hi Ernie-

From the error logs, it looks like you are running the IDV using
the installer version of Java.  That version is a 32bit version
so even if you are running the 64 bit version of XP, you cannot
allocate 1500m to the Java Virtual Machine.  On windows, you
can use about a max of 1200, but even on some systems that's
problematic.  Try using 1024m (1 GB) and see if that fixes this
problem.
