Recently the JVM on my Notes 8 client has stopped working. Notes works fine, but when I try and run a Java agent I get the error message 'Notes error: JVM: Java Virtual machine failed to start"

Here is the extract from the log:

Subject: same problem

Hi, did you find a solution?

I think I have the same problem: we’re getting “JVM failed to start” on 2 different PC’s: one with Win Vista and no Designer installed, the other with Win XP with Designer installed.

Both are running Notes 8.0.2. Same problem using Standard and Basic client.

Java debug console doesn’t start at all (but no error messages).

Tried reinstalling Notes, and using config files from another pc.

Thanks
