Please help the reader by including upper case letters
at the start of each sentence, and a question mark at
the end of questions. You would not want to make it
hard for us, would you?

As far as the memory and applets goes - I don't know,
*but* you might fix the entire problem by launching the
applet using web start, which also allows you to specify
memory settings.

Here are examples of:
1) Launching an applet.

2) Requesting extra memory for an application.

Sorry it was written after a 16 hour day of work dealing major
production problems.

The issue is some PC with same OS image and settings have a hard limit of 93
meg. In the Java Console it never goes above that. Others have a soft limit.
We understand that we can change the settings on a PC to increase it, but we
have 100s of PCs all over the country that are having this issue. We really
want to determine why this is occurring get to the root cause.
