I downloaded 64-bit Java from Oracle and 64-bit Eclipse and when I run eclipse it gives me error code 13. I tried using the solutions from another user who asked this question but it didn't work. Any suggestions?

There may be a problem with your Java installation that could be fixed by reinstalling it, but you're not giving us any details to work with. – nitind Oct 27 '15 at 22:39

@Andreas hit the nail on the head with his suggested duplicate. The problem is that you are trying to run a 64-bit eclipse with a 32-bit java, or vice versa. Yes, I know you downloaded 64-bit eclipse and 64-bit java, but you didn't tell the 64-bit eclipse to use the 64-bit java. The eclipse.ini file is where you do that, and the -vm option is how.
In addition to the linked question, Eclipse provides a forum post on this subject at https://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/t/198527/ and a guide to using the eclipse.ini file at http://wiki.eclipse.org/Eclipse.ini.
The bottom line: you set the -vm option in the eclipse.ini file. The -vm must be on its own line, and the following line must only be the path to your javaw.exe. Both of those lines have to come before any -vmargs entry.
Once you get that done your 64-bit eclipse will run with the 64-bit java that you downloaded.

Add the vm option and the full path to the javaw.exe
-vm C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\javaw.exe -startup

No no no, not the command-line arguments. Are we guessing, or do we know? – Erick G. Hagstrom Oct 27 '15 at 23:39
