EAP kills Windows 98? Follow

I'd guess its probably the machine, rather than java or idea.

I have never had much luck with IDEA on Windows 98. Win 98 just doesn't
do JAVA development all that well...poor memory management and such.

Sorry I am not much help with fixing the problem. However, I would
suggest Windows 2000/XP or any recent distro of Linux as the development
OS...they are both 1000's of times more stable (when developing JAVA)
than Win 98 ever could be.

Regards,
JM

I managed to get idea working on Windows ME before, I don't remember what it
took though. IDEA on ME managed to bring a pIII 1Ghz w/ 256 RAM Geforce3 to
its knees :)
That really goes to show you how much Windows 9X/me sucks since idea runs
like a charm on my XP @ 500MHz w/ 640 RAM and a TNT card at home.

Try the attached idea.bat for Win 98. The distributed idea.bat file does not work on Win 98.

I have tried a similar configuration without much problems;
I didn't notice a really big difference in performance to Win 2000 or Linux;
only that Win ME eats lots of RAM ...

Check for updated video drivers. I've seen the JDK behave in this manner with video driver problems due to the hardware acceleration. You may also want to turn this off.
