iReport locks up on startup

[mkajdos]

I am new to iReport.  Installed the 3.7.2 version on my XP Professional - all worked correctly.  When I start the program, welcome page appears and the program locks up so hard I have to log off to stop it. 

Can anyone help?

Thank you,

What does the task manager show? Hogging CPU? Hogging Memory? If it's memory, it could be because you have too many other programs open and the Java Virtual Machine is swapping (so hard) to disk.

The task manager is showing no activity (task running).  I looked into the event log and there is a message as copied below.  It appears to lock up with java.exe. 

I do not know if this is important, but I use Eclipse and develop in Java / JSP, and that is using javaw.exe.  

When the application starts, it shows part of the picture, showing the progress bar, for a short while.  Then it locks up and cannot be even cancelled.  I have to either leave it to time out or log off to get rid of it. 

Also, I am able to install and run the iReport on another PC with same XP Professional OS albeit quite old and slow. 

Any help provided is greatly appreciated.

Does 3.7.3 do the same thing?

[mkajdos]

Tried, same thing. I believe that it is something related to java.exe because this program is usually not running and it appears only on the Task Manager when I (try to) work with iReport.  Is there some way to configure the iReport - so that I could find out where it goes for java.exe?

Try changing the JVM version, it's the only thing I may think of.
