IDM 5.1 and Java memory heap size

This is really getting annoying. I have an ASA 5510 with SSM-10, and I'm trying to use the IDM. I'm running Windows XP SP3 with 1 gig of RAM. When I try to load the IDM, I get the error message:

"Your current Java memory heap size is less than 256 MB. You must increase the Java memory heap size before launching IDM."

Ok. I've done that, and it still doesn't work. I was running the latest version of Java. I then read advice to downgrade to Java 5, so I downgraded to 5u22 and tried it again. Same error message. So I once again adjusted the memory heap under Control Panel | Java, Java Applet Runtime Settings. There, on the only entry on the list (JRE 1..0_22), I added the runtime parameters "-Xms256 -Xmx512". I tried yet again and still get the error message.

What's going on with this?

Frank;

  Are you running IDM directly from a web browser, or are you launching through ASDM?

  Also, if you are running IPS release 5.x you will be unable to install cu
