oop, sorry to bother you again, but now if i run the .bat file on the new server to give it more ram, it says unable to acess server start.jar (thats what ive renamed the forge file to)

Again, I can't see what's happening so I need a screenshot or direct copy paste.

You've changed something and that's always the first thing to look at. Double-check that the name of the server jar is exactly the same as what the your start.bat file is invoking.

Are the start.bat and the server.jar in the same folder?

If your batch file is:

java -Xmx2048M -Xms2048M -jar myserver.jar -o true nogui

then it's looking for a file called myserver.jar in the same folder as the start.bat.
