Hi,
I have a problem when i start Eclipse on my PC running Windows XP. The Splash screen appears and then a dialog box pops up saying
----------------------------------------------------
JVM terminated Exit code=1
C:\WINDOWS\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
--------------------------------------------------------

The log file generated in the C:\eclipse folder says this:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
An unexpected exception has been detected in native code outside the VM.
Unexpected Signal : EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION (0xc0000005) occurred at PC=0x77D7E48D

Sometimes i also get a message saying Unable to load project Please use an alternative JVM.

How can i rectify this problem.
I have JRE 1.4.2_02 installed on my PC.
My eclipse version is 2.1 .
The problem exists even after installing Eclipse again.

Try setting the environment variable JAVA_HOME which points to your java sdk's installation folder and check out
