Java Heap Size on Win8.1

[pjpjpjpj]

I've been having increasing (or so it seems) issues with out of memory, lagginess, etc., from what I expected was lack of Java heap. In light of all of the comments in the open source section (about how this is a "highly important" issue to fix), I thought it just "was what it was". I had set my server years ago to 1024 (400h).

Then I remembered that I had upgraded my server to Win8.1 (from XP) a while back. Hmm, did I check to make sure the Java heap was increased? Uh oh, I didn't.

Not being a computer guy (per se) and not remembering how to do it, I searched and found Helen Weathers' helpful explanation from years ago, here:

Ack! That "tree" Helen described isn't there in Win8.1! (I'm assuming, since I haven't seen this discussed, that either most/all of you are computer people and knew this... or else no one is using Win8.1. )

So I did a little searching and found that they have now put it under another listing called "Wow6432Node", and under Frey Technologies, there is a breakout of "SageTV" (neither of which were in those older instructions).

Anyway, in case this helps anyone, if you are using Win8.1, here is the revised instruction:
1. Go to "Run"
2. type "regedit"
3. Go here: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Wow6432Node/Frey Technologies/SageTV

Then set your Java heap per Helen's instructions in that earlier post.

(and, yes, I had forgotten to set mine, it was at "000h".... now at 400h! )
