But the Note 1316652 didn’t help much in my case.

The issues that I encountered during the Java instance start are

1. During Binary synchronization step.

2. Shared Memory issue

Solution

1. Go to C:\Program Files\sdb\programs\bin and execute X_Server.exe

2. You need to enable 3GB switch at  operating system level in BOOT.INI file

Go to System properties->Advanced->Startup and Recovery->Click Edit under System Startup.Your initial .INI file looks like below

[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS=”Microsoft Windows XP Professional”

 Add a new  entry “multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS=”Microsoft Windows XP Professional 3GB switch” /3GB /USERVA=2900 /fastdetect /NoExecute=OptIn
“

Now your file should be as below

[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS=”Microsoft Windows XP Professional 3GB switch” /3GB /USERVA=2900 /fastdetect /NoExecute=OptIn
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS=”Microsoft Windows XP Professional”

Save and Restart the machine.

During the system boot , sleect “Microsoft Windows XP Professional 3GB switch” option.

Now start the CE instance.
