Description from the creator

IMPORTANT: Follow these steps to prevent any errors/problems!

- Step 1; make sure you have the right version of Java installed on your PC/OS, 32-bit needs a 32-bit version, and the same for 64-bit
Just type ''Java 32/64 bit download' on google, and either go to the java.com site, or the makers of Java, oracle.com

- Step 2; Find the javaw.exe file in your C:/Program Files/Java/bin map, and make a shortcut on your desktop.
Right-click the shortcut, and cope the target location as shown in the video.
Exit the tab, and paste the location in an .txt file on your desktop.

Step 3; cope the following line after the line with the javaw.exe target, so it looks simmilair to this;

"C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\javaw.exe" -Xmx4092m -Xms2048m

IMPORTANT!: there is a space between the last '' and the first -Xmx!

Please keep in mind that the number after Xmx and Xms can be either of the following:

1024----512
2048---1024
4096---2058
8162---4096

if the Xmx is one of the number from the left row, the Xms MUST BE the number that stands behind that in the right row; dont mix these number up!

now open your minecraft.exe shortcut from your desktop (if you haven't got one, make one), and copy the target location.
Close that tab, and paste the location behind the already placed line, so it looks something like this:

"C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\javaw.exe" -Xmx4092m -Xms2048m -jar "C:\Users\Richard\Downloads\Minecraft.exe"

Just make sure that you place your target location from the minecraft.exe AFTER the rest of the line, "C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\javaw.exe" -Xmx4092m -Xms2048m -jar "ENTER YOUR TARGET HERE"

Now save the file, and close it, but make a shortcut on your desktop.
Copy the ENTIRE line, and then close the textfile.
Open commandpromt by either typing 'cmd' in the searchbar (without the ' ), or use the 'run' and then 'cmd'.

Right click the top-left corner, click 'edit', and then click 'paste'.
Press 'Enter', and Minecraft should pop-up.

Click Singleplayer, and press F3, then check the top right corner, and see if it is near the numbers your typed into the .txt file.

Enjoy!
