op. sys refuses to provide memory

[Larry Chou]

I am running a statistical analysis program that allocates
memory in accordance with the size of the dataset it is
using. I get an error "op. sys refuses to provide memory"
whenever I try to allocate more than 1395MB of memory.
All of my servers are running sp3 and maxed out at 4GB of
RAM. I am able to allocate up to 1800MB on my other
server that only has 2GB of RAM. Is there a setting that
limits the amount of memory allocated to a process?


thanks

No, there is no such setting (except possibly on W2K Datacenter
Edition).
Have you checked the size of your pagefile and the other settings
under My Computer - Properties - Advanced - Performance?
