I just uninstalled all of EGit plugins that I had before. The uninstall went through smoothly and asked me to restart Eclipse at the end but then Eclipse wouldn't start giving me the following error message:

![enter image description here](https://i.stack.imgur.com/6BU36.png)

I get that when I try to launch Eclipse from my shortcut on the Start Menu (using Win 7). But when I go to the Eclipse install directory itself and hit eclipse.exe there, I get the following error message:

I did go to see whether there is jvm.dll in the above directory and indeed it is there.

Any idea how to fix it?

**UPDATE 1:** I reinstalled both Eclipse **AND** JRE but the problem remains.

**UPDATE 2:** Here are the contents of my `eclipse.ini`

```
-startup
