How can i get bukkit to run on Windows XP SP2 it wont work

Bukkit wont work on Windows Xp Server Pack 2, is there a kind of bukkit or program.
this is an older computer intel pentium 3 at 996 MHz and has 384 mbs of ram i think (is has 1 256mb skick and one 128mb stick of ram)

 

Could you be more precise, like what does it say when you try to run it.

 

Do you really want to run a server on that?! It could work...you need to change how much ram is allocated to the server. Its my understanding the run bat is starting the server with 1 gb and if it can't allocate 1 gb of ram because you don't have it it won't work.

I think the lowest amount you should give it is 256mb of ram. I don't even know if you could.

 

it says this (in the pic)

how do i do that

edit your run.bat with a text editor like Notepad++ or Notepad and change this line:

Code:

"%ProgramFiles%\Java\jre6\bin\java.exe" -Xmx1024M -Xms1024M -jar craftbukkit.jar

to something like this

Code:

"%ProgramFiles%\Java\jre6\bin\java.exe" -Xmx256M -Xms256M -jar craftbukkit.jar

You just change those numbers. Xmx is maximum amount of ram to use and Xms smallest amount to use.

There might be another problem. I can't see that image though.

gives me the same error!

 

Okay then is a different problem. I can't see that image. Can you post it on minus or imageshack then post the like from that site here?

 

here is a better image

 

I'm getting the same thing but have more ram. It seems to be that the bukkit server wont activate Java so you get the option to allow Bukkit. In a vanilla server, you get the option when you start it up the first time. In this case, I think its bukkit not wanting to talk to Java on windows XP pro. I have the same OS and service pack. My motherboard is too outdated to upgrade to windows 7 from boot and in windows so im stuck with this untill i get enough money to pay for an new server that can handle more ram or by a motherboard. I have my temp server pc, an old laptop, running bukkit just fine, but it has windows 7. So i think the problem is windows XP and bukkit not liking each other. I am aware that I posted 20ish days later, but I think we need to update . I don't have money for a new server PC but maybe I can get a motherboard a little cheaper that can work with windows 7. Oh yeah, I have the same processor too. I hope we can figure this out
