Hi Everyone,

Desperate for some help here! Downloaded LRT (haven't used before) and on start up a window opens for a second then closes immediately and the app has failed to open.

Below is the system log for the period of opening the app.

My Mac details are as follows:

2.16 Core Duo
10.6.8 (32bit)
2GB ram
Clean install only 2 days ago!

Any help would be greatly appreciated as I'm desperate to try out the capabilities of this app.

Many thanks for your help,

Kieran

Hi Kieran,
the Problem is that the Java-VM tries to allocate more memory than your system can provide. You can however trick Java to use less memory, you'll find an instruction in the faq, check the "Mac" section:

Gunther,

Thank you for your prompt reply. I have made the amendment you recommended and the app now loads successfully. Thanks again and I look forward to making good use of it.

Cheers,

Kieran
