Description Cornelia Villar

I cannot start eclipse. I have the following message:
JVM terminated.Exit code=2
C:\WINNT\system32\javaw.exe
-cp C:\eclipse\startup.jar org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main
-os win32
-ws win32
-arch x86
-showsplash C:\eclipse\eclipse.exe -showsplash 600

I've copied the javaw.exe from j2re1.4.0/bin into WINNT\system32

Try running Eclipse with the VM in the original JRE dir and see if it works. For
example:

eclipse -vm c:\j2re1.4.0\bin\javaw

Please reopen if that does not solve your problem.
