Could not reserve enough space for object heap

[Ray Zhao]

I got the following error when I try to create a Matlab object in Excel.

------------------------
Error occurred during initialization of VM
Could not reserve enough space for object heap
Stack Trace:
[0] jmi.dll:void __stdcall mwJavaAbort(void)(0x78f95578 "Could not reserve enough space f..", 0, 0x78dd0000, 0x1d8014e0) + 21 bytes

Configuration:
MATLAB Version: 7.5.0.342 (R2007b)
MATLAB License: unknown
Operating System: Microsoft Windows XP
Window System: Version 5.1 (Build 2600: Service Pack 3)

Virtual Machine: Java is not enabled
Default Charset: windows-1252

Java is not enabled
------------------------------

I tried to add an environmental variable - MATLAB_RESERVE_LO=0 as suggested by some other posts. But it doesn't work. And it seems I can't compile the library with no JVM option as the "Disable JVM at runtime" option in the deploytool is disabled.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,
Ray

Either you have too many active memory-gobbling processes (kill some of them and retry), or your memory is extremely fragmented (in which case restarting your system might help). As an alternative, you can try and modify the startup JVM heap size as explained here: http://www.mathworks.com/support/solutions/en/data/1-18I2C/
