Also in the In the above bat file that starts the minecraft server on Windows, in this example the minecraft directory is located at D:\minecraft (so minecraft_server.jar is located at D:\minecraft\minecraft_server.jar), the operating system is Windows 7 64 bit, Sun’s java.exe is installed at C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin

This java happens to be 64 bit and the PC I’m running has plenty of RAM, 16 GB in my case, so I can allocate the 2GB via the Xmx2048M of maximum memory to run minecraft. The D: line below tells the bat file to go the D: drive. Also note the double quotes around “Program Files” below, needed because of the space between the words Programs and Files . I also chose not to use the @echo off The title run-minecraft in the 1st line is to just have the MS DOS window that is used to run minecraft display “run-minecraft” in the window title bar.

; IfWinExist, C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe
; this is why I have the the “title run-minecraft” in the .bat file that starts minecraft. I also named the bat file run-minecraft.bat.
; Because the line below is looking for “run-minecraft” in the “title” of the window
IfWinExist, run-minecraft
{
; WinActivate C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe
WinActivate run-minecraft.bat

I bought backup for all professional to run the above stop server script, then back-up the minecraft server folder, and the I use the following minecraft start up script (bat file) to start minecraft after the backup. This start-up script took forever for me to get to start automatically via another program like a back-up software program. So Here is my run-minecraft.bat file

title run-minecraft
path=%PATH%;%C:\”Program Files”\Java\jre6\bin
D:
cd minecraft
java.exe -Xms1048M -Xmx2048M -jar minecraft_server.jar nogui

The issues were around paths and java and directories etc. for it to start correctly from the back-up software app. I also posted the start-up script here too

I checked for updated drivers, turned off the sound card enhancements, checked the bios, and nothing worked. Then I found out that if both the ethernet port and wireless were active at the same time, I would get multiple svchost.exe spikes and the system would skip. I use wireless at my house so I disabled the ethernet port, since then no problems.

Hope this helps for anyone else searching for this same problem.

Thanks!
