Hello! I have a problem. After installing EL 5 BETA i get an error message "JVM creation failed". I do not know if it has been posted here but i ask you for an answer. Thanks.
P.S. EL 4 works!!!

what operating system do you have?
did you install expert lotto 5 using a wizard installer or did you download zip archive only?
when you run expert lotto from command line prompt window, is there any other error message?

I have WIN XP SP3, latest Java. The error occures even from the zip pakage.

ok, and is there any error message when running expert lotto from command line?
do you have any firewall or antivirus software? does it help if you turn them off temporarily?

What command line? I have Avira Security Suite, it does not allow me to close it. I have comodo firewall, i close it but the same error.

click windows 'start' menu, select 'run', type 'cmd' and hit enter to open command line prompt window. then change to directory where you extracted 'expertlotto.zip' file. then change to 'bin' subfolder. type 'expertlotto.exe' and hit enter. please post here what error messages, if any, you're getting.

to turn comodo firewall off you need to right-click its icon in the notification area and choose some lower level in 'defense+' submenu. i don't know how to disable avira but i'm sure there's an option to either specify an application as a safe one or turn the whole antivirus protection off for a while.

I did the cmd with the installed EL not from the zip before. I did it now from the zip. The same result. Comodo firewall i close it but avira does not close. I will try to run EL from the Safe Mode XP.

thanks for the screenshot, it seems you don't have enough ram memory.
what are your hardware specifications?

Laptop
Intel Pentium dual core 1.86 GHz
2 GB RAM DDR2 SDRAM
Not enough???

2 gigs should be enough
try running expert lotto from the command line again using 'expertlotto.exe -J-Xmx512m'

also please post which version of java do you have - use command line 'java -version', thanks

GREAT!!! IT WORKS!
Now i have another problem. I do not know how to make a batch file to open the EL 5 whit the "-J-Xmx512m" , i mean i must type every time the cmd etc to open the EL 5?. Thanks.

go to 'etc' subfolder and open 'expertlotto.conf' file in e.g. windows notepad. then look for line starting with 'default_options' and change -JXmx1024m to -JXmx512m (or try higher number to see if expert lotto starts then, 512 means that expert lotto will use at most 512mb of ram)

Thanks! It works!
Now i must learn how to use EL 5 BETA and WIN THE JACKPOT before the trial expires!
Thanks again!
