Hi Haley, I am bit surprised you had to edit the startup script to start the IDV. This is occasionally necessary but rare. At any rate, please find the runIDV.bat script. Therein you will find a comment at the beginning of the script that explains what to do. Also you may wish to read this http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/idv/docs/userguide/misc/PerformanceTuning.html#heap. Please keep us up-to-date on your progress.
