I have win7 64 bit (16gb ram), 32bit java is running by default, when I run a program it say's I need to use 64bit java (which I have installed). How do I switch system to 64bit?

when we have multiple versions of Java installed , we need to Configure Java with Java Control Panel ( we can temporarily disable or enable the versions according to the needs ) the 32bit version is located by default in programFiles(x86)\java\jre1.8.0_25 folder and the 64bit version is located in programFiles\java\jre1.8.0_25
in the Java Control Panel disable one of them.

following settings worked perfectly for me

the first picture shows how to enable Java Plugin Launching for browsers ( when Java does not work with any browser and also unable to verify java on java.com site )

the second picture shows how to enable Java Control Panel ( or Configure Java )

the third picture shows the folder path where these two java applications are located in the computer

just right-click on the JP2LAUNCHER click Properties click Compatibility tick Compatibility Mode set WindowsNT
repeat the same thing for the other one ( JAVAW )
