7. FAQ 1. An error similar to the image below occurs while attempting to open a document Cause: The main cause of this error is due to the default browser cache not having enough memory to cover the large size of the document, inserted images or media files. Resolution: If your computer has enough available memory, then please follow the instructions listed below. Systems > control panel > Java > Click 'view' under Java applet runtime settings. Java Increase the Heap memory size in the Java runtime parameters section. The default Heap memory setting value is 64MB. We recommend that you set the size of the memory to 25% of the original setting. E.g. If the memory size is 1GB - Xmx256m (max: 256MB) [12/14]
