Tried on my Win XP Pro SP2

I removed: -J-Xdock:name=Autopsy

and it worked

Confirming the issue, and solution.

Removing the -J-Xdock:name allows Autopsy to run with almost any combination of -J-Xms and -J-Xmx. Prior to removing it, no combination of Xms and Xmx worked.

Win7 Pro 64-bit SP1, Java 7u45

We're trying to debug why the Xdock:name option removal works (in theory its a mac os x specific option). We've noticed it makes a difference on virtual machines with about 4GB RAM, but not on machines with say 8GB RAM in our environment. Win7 64bit for both of these setups. How much RAM is available in your machines?

4gb

NOTE: This was "fixed again" in #3401. Somehow the previous fix never made it back to the develop branch since it was done as a last minute fix during a release.
